Tate

To mark Andy Warhol’s birthday today we’re showing off the work of our Conservators and Scientists cleaning one of Tate's most popular artworks, Warhol's Marilyn Diptych! Over the last two years they have undertaken a meticulous cleaning process to restore the artwork's vibrant colours whilst preserving all of Warhol's original touches, getting the piece ready to go back on public display. In August 1962, the same month that Warhol began experimenting with silkscreen techniques, Marilyn Monroe tragically passed away. Between August and December of that year, Warhol created at least twenty-three paintings of Monroe using his newfound silkscreen method. All of these works were based on the same photograph: a 20th Century Fox publicity still for the 1953 film 'Niagara', taken by Gene Kornman. These pieces varied in their execution, with some rendered in colour and others in black and white. One of the most renowned works from this series, 'Marilyn Diptych', has become a cornerstone of Tate's collection since its acquisition in 1980. Tate is pleased to acknowledge that some of the equipment used to support this conservation treatment was generously supported by an UK Research and Innovation Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Capability for Collections (CapCo) Fund award 2020-2022

We're excited to share that Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520-1920 is open now at Tate Britain! 🎨 🔍 Featuring artists from Tudor times to the First World War, this show dismantles stereotypes surrounding women artists in history. It tells the stories of the women who championed access to art training and broke boundaries with commercial careers, daringly painting what were usually seen as subjects for male artists: history pieces, battle scenes and the nude. Now You See Us features over 150 works from artists including Artemisia Gentileschi, Mary Beale and Angelica Kauffman, and brings to light the story of women artists in Britain over 400 years. On display until 13 October. In partnership with Lockton
