Trustees at Tate Modern in London have expressed concern that there is an under-representation of women artists in its collection.

The art gallery features works by 3,000 people, of which 348 only were by a female artist.

A spokesperson said: “While we do not operate positive discrimination in relation to women artists, we are all, at Tate, very concerned to address areas where, historically, women artists may have been unduly neglected.

“We examine our holdings on a regular basis to identify what may have been overlooked in the past, and research what may be available to fill gaps.”
