Tate Modern building wall art

The Product: Tate Modern building wall art

Prints of the Tate Modern building rarely capture the austere beauty of this architectural icon. Housing one of the world’s largest collections of modern and contemporary art, the building, converted by Swiss architects Herzog & De Meuron, retained much of the original character. In 1994, the Bankside Power Station in Southwark designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott was selected to become the new Tate Modern gallery. Famous for his work designing the Battersea Power Station and the iconic red telephone box, Scott was renowned for his style which blended Gothic traditions with modernism.

The Lowdown

A signed Giclée, this line-drawn Tate Modern building wall art print is presented on the highest quality, acid-free, lightfast, archival, 300gsm, Minuet Cotton Rag. The heavyweight etching board is velvety smooth with a fine surface texture and is one of the most widely used media, worldwide, for artwork and photography. Using pigment-based UltraChrome and Ultra Violet (UV) inks, the Giclée printing process ensures superior detail, colours and longevity. The print comes unframed and is delivered in a cardboard tube for you to take straight to your local framer.

Styling Ideas?

Need framing advice? We’d suggest a slim, white frame with subtly visible woodgrain and a white card mount, if you wish the frame to disappear – say, against a white wall – and the print to stand out. Equally as effective is the same style of frame in black – as here – also teamed with a white card mount, to outline the drawing and act like bold, precise punctuation! The third option would be to go for a softer, warmer effect with a natural or stained wooden mount. All three will work beautifully, depending on the backdrop, and the look you want to achieve. It’s worth knowing that artworks such as these will often leap out, to striking effect, from a dark-hued wall.
