Tate director urged to display more stored art

In a letter to the editor, Simon Rew of London advises the new Tate director, Jessica Morgan, to display more of the institution's stored art. Rew notes that large areas of Tate Modern and, to a lesser extent, Tate Britain remain empty, despite a costly extension. He does not advocate for a crowded display like the Royal Academy summer exhibition but urges better use of the space. The letter was published in The Guardian on 24 July 2026, following the announcement of Morgan's appointment with a significant pay cut.
