Tate Britain Acquires Dageraad from the Air and Plantation K-140

London, England

In 2020, the Tate Britain acquired Donald Locke’s mixed media painting, Dageraad from the Air, and sculpture, Plantation K-140.

Dageraad from the Air has 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. Tate Britain will feature these pieces along with the other Locke pieces in their collection in their upcoming exhibit, Life Between Islands: Caribbean-British Art, 1950-Now.
