Tate and art collector Anthony d’Offay "have agreed to end their relationship" and the trustees of the National Galleries of Scotland will be considering its future relationship with him at their next meeting.
Tate will be returning all its works on loan and removing all public signage relating to him and his collection. The move follows a backlash against Tate's expressions of support for Black Lives Matter, which drew accusations of hypocrisy after a selfie image of D’Offay posing in a mirror with a golliwog was circulated on social media.
Tate first suspended links with D’Offay in January 2018 following allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour, which he denies, but members of the art community have since challenged Tate’s decision to resume links with him, questionning its process for investigating the allegations.
