“Since the building of the great modern art museums in New York, Paris and London, the narrative of 20th-century and contemporary art has been told, by and large, through the stories of the great European and North American cities.
But the Tate has announced it is time to look further afield. ‘There is not a crisis in British or European art,’ said the Tate director, Sir Nicholas Serota, ‘but we are conscious art is being made across the world and those areas outside Europe and North America cannot be regarded as the periphery.'” (Charlotte Higgins in The Guardian, 1 November 2012)
