Browne New Tate Chair

January 27, 2009 by Marion Maneker

Can He Raise the Money for the Tate’s Expansion?

Bloomberg reports on John Browne, the former CEO of British Petroleum becoming the Chairman of the Tate Museum:

Browne’s appointment comes at a time when Tate Modern, the converted power plant on the south bank of the Thames River in London, is striving to raise money for its planned 215-million- pound ($299 million) new wing, designed by architects Herzog & de Meuron and scheduled to open in time for the 2012 London Olympics. Only a third of the funds have been raised, and if not enough money is pledged, the new building will be called off, Serota has said.
