Tate has announced highlights of the 2017 exhibition programme, featuring important retrospectives of contemporary artists including David Hockney, Wolfgang Tillmans, Rachel Whiteread and Emilia and Ilya Kabokov.
At
Tate Modern, Wolfgang Tillmans will focus on his
‘extended practice’ with photographs, video, digital slide projections, publications, curatorial projects and recorded music. Also in the spring, Giacometti will show never before seen plasters and drawings alongside more familiar bronze sculptures and oil paintings. In the summer, Soul of a Nation: Art in the Age of Black Power will explore how
‘Black Art’ was defined, rejected and redefined by artists across the United States in the period 1963-83. There will be a retrospective of the influential Turkish artist Fahrelnissa Zeid, known for her large scale abstract works that drew on Islamic, Byzantine, Arab and Persian influences and European style. In the autumn, Modigliani will include his remarkable series of nudes and elongated portraits. To mark the centenary of the October Revolution, two exhibitions will evoke Russia from then to now: Red Star Over Russia, exploring how Russian and Soviet artists created a unique visual identity, and a major exhibition of Russian contemporary artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov.
