NUDE: ART FROM THE TATE COLLECTION
Venue:

Yokohama Museum of Art

Dates:March 24 (Sat. ) - June 24 (Sun.), 2018

The Yokohama Museum of Art is proud to present
NUDE: ART FROM THE TATE COLLECTION from Saturday,
March 24 to Sunday June 24, 2018.
The Nude is central to the history of western art.
Symbolizing beauty, expressing love, and reflecting on what itmeans to be human, artists’ representation of the naked body isalso continuously challenging and controversial.
Tate’s renowned collection of historic, modern, andcontemporary art includes paintings ranging from late 19th century
Victorian depictions of classical mythology and history, topresent-day politicized representations of the artist’s own body.
This exhibition tells the story of the depiction of the naked bodyover the span of 200 years of western art history.
Through the presentation of 134 artworks – paintings,
sculptures, works on paper and photographs – visitors will see how
the representation of the nude has evolved in the context of bothartistic expression and shifts in social and political attitudes.
