Difficult to accept, we know, but the interests of Scousers really does extend beyond the beating pulse of the terraces at Anfield and nabbing hub-plates from stationary motor vehicles and the Tate Gallery is just one of an enviable range of very generously ‘arty’ venues that prove it. In fact, Liverpool, probably has more art and culture per square inch of it’s bustling concrete landscape than anywhere outside of Florence. With the exception of Paris, Rome, Barcelona and Warrington, naturally.
Until very recently, the Tate Liverpool was the largest gallery of modern and contemporary art outside of London. The special exhibition programme, presented on the Gallery’s fourth floor, brings together works from national and international collections, both public and private.
If you like pictures of horses, key religious figures, ladies with red-hair in symbolic contexts or kids on the corner of the street parked in clogs then try out the Walker Gallery – but if you get a greater kick from more surreal and more abstract stuff (whether that’s William Blake or Peter Blake) then the Liverpool Tate is positively buzzin’.
