‘They moved to silence and erase’: artists who sued Tate speak out

Exclusive: Tate agreed to pay a six-figure settlement after claim of discrimination, victimisation and harassment

Three artists who sued the Tate for victimisation, alleging breach of contract and race discrimination, have told of their experiences after it agreed to pay them a six-figure settlement.

The action was taken after the institution told one of the women, who had been commissioned to lead a major year-long programme, that she could not work with Jade Montserrat, an artist who has made allegations of sexual abuse and inappropriate behaviour against the art dealer Anthony d'Offay.
