Beginning your Livtours Private Tate Modern Guided Tour, on the banks of the river Thames, your expert will begin by introducing the subject in hand and the fascinating area the museum is located in. Southwark has been associated with the arts and entertainment since the 16th century. Setting the scene you will enter a beautifully restored power station, combining industrial grandeur with open spaces to create a perfectly calm atmosphere to view the richest collection of modern art in the UK. Described as an industrial cathedral originally designed to generate power, the brick building that now houses the art was designed by London architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scot (designer of London’s iconic red telephone boxes) the building has changed, adapted, and reinvented itself, just like the art it houses and the city it calls home.
As your expert art historian leads you into the museum, begin discussing the nature of art and how we approach, interpret, and interact with images. How modern art affects the way we view the world and what even defines art as a subject. With your tailor-made private tour engage with your guide at different levels, beginning with a crash course in modern art if you wish or discussing your favorite works of art you have come to see. There is no other way to fully immerse yourself in the world of impressionism, DADA, surrealism, or cubism than with your very own expert to lead you. Learn more about Monet and modern arts impressionist break away from classical and romantic realistic painting, how impressionism developed into more abstract forms, Spanish giants such as Picasso and Dali, and how the conflict shaped their distressing images, and dive into the world of 1960s pop art with Andy Warhol.
