Pérez Family Donates Joan Mitchell Triptych and Endowment to Tate
Tate announced a major gift from collectors Jorge M. and Darlene Pérez, including Joan Mitchell's six-metre-long triptych Iva (1973), now on view at Tate Modern, and a multimillion-dollar endowment through The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation. The funds will support curatorial posts focused on African and Latin American art. Jorge M. Pérez is founder of The Related Group and has given over $100 million to Pérez Art Museum Miami, renamed in his honor in 2013. The donation comes amid global financial turmoil from US tariffs and cuts to cultural institutions.
