Tate Britain show to 'reappraise' Lowry The Tate holds 23 Lowry works but only one, Industrial Landscape (1955), has been on display in the capital in the past 20 years. Another six paintings, including Coming Out Of School (1927) and The Pond (1950) are held in storage and 16 drawings are available to view only by appointment. The show will feature 80 works, many of them loaned, and will "reappraise Lowry for a new and extended audience." A Tate spokesman said: "Without his pictures, Britain would arguably lack an account in paint of the experiences of the 20th century." Chris Stephens, Tate Britain's head of displays, said last year that Lowry was "a victim of his own fan base," explaining: "What makes Lowry so popular is the same thing which stops him being the subject of serious critical attention. What attracts so many is a sort of sentimentality about him. The greatest collection of the artist's work is housed in The Lowry in Salford Quays, Greater Manchester. The Lowry Collection comprises 57 oil paintings and over 300 works on paper. A permanent display there currently has 145 works on display. This summer, to coincide with Lowry's 125th anniversary, that number will almost double.
