Lovers of art on the Thames Path can now enjoy works by the celebrated artist Andy Warhol. From 12 March 2020 until 6 September, the Tate Modern will be holding an exhibition of the pop-artist..
Warhol was born in Pittsburgh in 1928 to Solvakian parents. He moved to New York in 1949 to work as an illustrator. He died in 1987 after gallbladder surgery.
Well known for his drawings of Marilyn Monroe, Coca-Cola and Campbell’s soup, the exhibition will feature works never before seen in the UK.
Walkers on the Thames Path will pass the Tate Modern if walking on the right-bank of the river, between Blackfriars Bridge and Southwark Bridge.
The Tate Modern is open from 10am to 6pm Monday to Thursday, and 10am to 10pm Friday and Saturday. Entry to the art gallery is free. However, exhibitions, such as Andy Warhol, are charged (£20).
The gallery occupies the site of the former Bankside Power Station. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, architect of Battersea Power Station a few miles upstream.
The Tate Modern is named after sugar magnate, Henry Tate, who had laid the foundations for the National Gallery of British Art.
