Tate Modern is to get a summer facelift, with a group of the world’s most acclaimed street artists being asked to produce work for the building’s Thames-side facade, it was announced yesterday.
It will be the first commission to use the facade and each artist will have an area of about 15×12 metres for the exhibition, entitled Street Art at Tate Modern.
Cedar Lewisohn, the exhibition’s curator, said he hoped the work, to be displayed between May and August, would open eyes to the variety of street art. “There is exciting stuff happening around the world and there is more to street art than just the household name or two we know in this country.”
