Tate Modern

January 4, 2010 | Article Posted By - John Jones, London

I recently revisited the great Tate Modern Art Gallery on the South bank of the river Thames in London.

 The galleries are housed in the former Bankside Power Station, which was originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and built in two stages between 1947 and 1963. The power station closed in 1981 and following conversion by architects Herzog & de Meuron opened as the Tate in 2000. 

The collections in Tate Modern consist of works of international modern and contemporary art dating from 1900 onwards, and these images are my personal favorites. Rothko, Kandinsky and Mondrian.
