Artist who created giant sculpture of buttocks lands Tate Britain commission
The “major new work”, combining sculpture and performance, will be unveiled next year.
An artist famous for creating a giant sculpture of buttocks will be transforming the heart of Tate Britain.
Anthea Hamilton exhibited a 16ft-high sculpture of a backside, called Project For A Door (After Gaetano Pesce), at the Turner Prize 2016 exhibition.
She is now the latest artist commissioned to create a major new work in response to Tate Britain’s grand, neo-classical Duveen galleries.
This year, the annual commission – supported by Sotheby’s – saw Cerith Wyn Evans display a neon “celestial map”.
“She creates unforgettable experiences that both provoke and delight,” he said.
Tate Britain Commission 2018: Anthea Hamilton runs from March 22 to October 7 next year.
