Tate Modern: Ten Artists, Ten Images. 1995 - 2000

Tate

London. Tate Gallery. 1999
Portfolio of specially commissioned photographs published by the Tate Gallery, London.

From the edition limited to 50 copies, 5 artist proofs were also published.

To celebrate the opening of Tate Modern in 2000, ten contemporary artist photographers were invited to make an image inspired by the Bankside building and its surroundings. The resulting work includes architectural details, images of workers, and other more subtle allusions to the process of regeneration surrounding Tate, such as in Jeff Wall's 'A Sapling Held by a Post' (2000).

The artists involved include Uta Barth, Sam Taylor-Johnson OBE, Rineke Dijkstra, Hannah Collins, Richard Billingham, Jeff Wall, Catherine Yass, Thomas Struth, Thomas Ruff and Craigie Horsfield. All artists used chromogenic images, apart from Horsfield (who used silver gelatin print) and Catherine Yass, who presents a photographic transparency for framing into a lightbox. The lightbox itself was not issued with the portfolio.

Copies are scarce on the market and elsewhere.
Large folio. (840 x 560 mm). Eight chromogenic prints and one silver gelatin print (various sizes), each printed recto only on single sheets and signed and numbered verso; one further photographic transparency on acrylic; additional title page, contents page, and instruction page for displaying the photographic transparency. Loose in original publisher's grey cloth drop-back box.
