The Tate Britain acquired two of Locke’s works. One was the mixed media painting, Dageraad from the Air, and the other was the mixed media sculpture, Plantation K/140.
Below are shots of Dageraad from the Air in the Tate Britain’s Painting Conservation Department as the museum’s team prepared to clean it.
Dageraad from the Air appeared in multiple exhibitions since the 1970s, including the 2016 posthumous exhibition at the Skoto Gallery, Donald Locke: The Plantation Series, and the 1989 major survey exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, The Other Story: Afro-Asian artists in post-war Britain.
Both Dageraad from the Air and Plantation K/140 were later featured in the Tate’s exhibit, Life Between Islands.
