A Year in Art: 1973 at Tate Modern

Until 18 October 2020

Cecilia Vicuña‘s Violeta Parra and her Diary of Objects – both acquired from England & Co’s 2013 exhibition of her work – are now on view in A Year in Art: 1973. This display at Tate Modern, London, explores how art was used as a form of protest in response to the 1973 coup d’etat in Chile. The display features materials relating to Artists for Democracy, works by Conrad Atkinson, Francisco Copello, John Dugger, Nicolás Franco, Alfredo Jaar, Lynn MacRitchie and Lotty Rosenfeld, plus a section of arpilleras, textiles made by unknown artists depicting life in Chile.
