Britain’s Tate Modern art museum on Thursday revealed a « transformational » donation that its director calls « one of the most important » works it has received, reports the BBC. « Iva », a 20-foot-long triptych by American abstract expressionist Joan Mitchell, was gifted to the museum by philanthropists Jorge M. Pérez and Darlene Pérez. The painting, named after Mitchell’s German Shepherd, had hung for years in the couple’s Miami bedroom, and Jorge Pérez says it was painful to part with it.
