London’s National To Take On The 20th Century?

London’s National Gallery is considering expanding its collecting activities into the 20th Century. “At present its remit runs until 1900, following a 1996 agreement with Tate. Under the terms of the deal, the NG transferred 14 post-1900 pictures to Tate on long-term loan, with Tate lending 51 pre-1900 European works to Trafalgar Square.”
