Britain’s Tate Modern art museum on Thursday unveiled one of the most significant gifts it has received in years – a masterpiece by an American abstract expressionist that hung for years on a bedroom wall in Miami.
Joan Mitchell’s painting “Iva” is the centerpiece of a major donation from Florida-based philanthropists Jorge M. Pérez and Darlene Pérez that also will help Tate expand its collection of works by Latin American and African artists.
