GENEROUS ART PATRON
SIR JOSEPH DUVEEN GIFT OF SCULPTURE GALLERY (British Official Wireless. — Copyright) RUGBY, Sunday. The well-known art patron, Sir Joseph Duveen, has offered to complete the modern foreign gallery at Millbank, which was opened last year by King George, by having built an additional gallery for modern foreign sculpture. His offer has been accepted by the Treasury and by the trustees of the Tate Gallery. The building will shortly be begun on a vacant site behind the present galleries. The building the King opened last year was also erected through the generosity of Sir Joseph Duveen. It consists of four large galleries on the main floor, three of which are devoted to modern foreign works and one to works by Sargent. Five galleries in the basement are particularly suitable for water-colours and drawings.—A. and N.Z.
