This interdisciplinary book examines how Tate Modern transformed itself into the highly successful gallery it is today. Donnellan argues that, faced with the prospect of convincing a sceptical public, Tate Modern set about establishing its own vision of art, its own vision of a public, and its own vision of London. In doing so, it offered new thinking on what a public institution could do and how one might be funded. This book examines this process, critically evaluating both the reasons behind its success and the consequences of that success. The result is important reading for students and researchers in museum studies and related disciplines, as well as those working in the profession.
