Highlight of the exhibitions
It's worth mentioning that in London, Tate Modern will reopen with Andy Warhol and Kara Walker's Hyundai Commission Fons Americanus, which would be one of the highlights of the exhibits.
It is the first time for Tate Modern to display the retrospective exhibition of Andy Warhol over the past 20 years. This major exhibition will offer visitors a rare personal insight into how Warhol and his work marked a period of cultural transformation.
In addition to its iconic pop culture images like Marilyn Monroe and Coca Cola, this time, the exhibition also includes 25 new artworks in the series of Ladies and Gentlemen.
Meanwhile, Tate recently announced a plan for 2021, which will feature artwork from several renowned female artists, and that would be the highlight for next year.
In the spring of the next year, the Tate Modern Art Museum will exhibit Yayoi Kusama's artwork "Infinity Mirror Rooms". At the same time, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, a Swiss artist and designer, will present her unique retrospective exhibition in summer.
