A decision to tear up an agreement between the National Gallery and Tate, which has prevented the National Gallery from collecting works created after 1900, could create “bad blood” and a situation in which the two galleries are “at each other’s throats”, according to senior sources.
The National Gallery announced the shift as part of Project Domani, whereby the 200-year-old institution will receive £375m of investment for a new wing that will usher in a “new tomorrow”.
