The highlight is the largest-ever global touring exhibition of William Turner’s work: “William Turner: Sublime Echoes”.

⊳英國泰德美術館 Tate Modern, UK
從私人收藏到國家級美術館 打破傳統博物館思維的藝術機構
From private collection to national art museum, an art institution that breaks the traditional museum mentality
英國泰德美術館於1897年由利物浦糖商亨利·泰德（Henry Tate）爵士創立，早年以國家藝廊的方向發展，至今在英國已有四座美術館的規模，包括歷史最悠久的泰德不列顛美術館（Tate Britain） 、英國北方藝術重鎮泰德利物浦美術館（Tate Liverpool）、深耕在地文化發展的泰德聖艾夫斯美術館（Tate St Ives）、以及人氣最旺的泰德現代美術館（Tate Modern）等。而作為英國最具代表性、參觀人數名列前茅的泰德美術館，其館藏涵蓋英國及西洋藝術史500年來的珍貴鉅作，其中尤以威廉．透納臨終捐贈的數百件油畫及上萬件水彩及素描作品最受矚目，更是世人參觀必訪的重點。近年泰德美術館更以打破年代界線的主題式策展開創新局，是全世界最具前瞻性美術館之一。
Founded in 1897 by Liverpool sugar merchant Sir Henry Tate, the Tate Gallery in the UK initially developed as a national gallery. Today, it encompasses four galleries in the UK: Tate Britain, the oldest; Tate Liverpool, a major hub for Northern art; Tate St Ives, deeply engaged in local cultural development; and Tate Modern, the most popular. As the UK’s most representative and highly visited gallery, the Tate Gallery boasts a collection encompassing 500 years of British and Western art, with a particularly significant collection of masterpieces by William H. The hundreds of paintings and tens of thousands of watercolors and drawings donated by Turner during his final years are among the most sought-after and must-see attractions. In recent years, the Tate Modern has pioneered thematic exhibitions that transcend timelines, establishing it as one of the most forward-thinking art museums in the world.
全球史上最大規模 威廉．透納真跡畫展首度登台
The world’s largest exhibition of William Turner’s authentic paintings debuts in Taiwan
威廉·透納在世時就創立了基金，意在幫助貧窮的藝術家，這也成為泰德美術館成立英國最著名的藝術獎「透納獎」最重要的原因。在他逝世後部分畫作遺贈國家，大部分作品保存在泰德美術館，而擁有最多透納作品收藏的泰德美術館，本次將帶來80件透納的真跡畫作，以英國風景、阿爾卑斯山、威尼斯、海上風暴、海天之間、歷史故事、崇高美學等，分為7大展區，貫穿他整個創作生涯。為了凸顯透納作品的劃時代，泰德美術館另精選近30件當代藝術家作品加入展出，打造出前所未有、最大規模也是最全面的威廉．透納特展。
During his lifetime, William Turner established a fund to aid impoverished artists, a key reason for the Tate Modern to establish the Turner Prize, Britain’s most prestigious art award. After his death, some of his paintings were bequeathed to the nation, while the majority remain at the Tate Modern. As the largest collection of Turner’s works, the Tate Modern will present 80 authentic Turner paintings, organized into seven sections: English Landscapes, the Alps, Venice, Storms at Sea, Between Sea and Sky, Historical Stories, and Sublime Aesthetics, spanning his career. To highlight the defining era of Turner’s work, the Tate Modern has also selected nearly 30 works by contemporary artists, creating an unprecedented, largest, and most comprehensive exhibition dedicated to William Turner.
展區亮點 Highlights of the exhibition area
⊳始於英國風景 Starting from the British landscape
透納因早期探索英國風景，而成為大自然崇高力量的熱情觀察者，他詳細描繪這些自然的景象，更讓他聲名遠播。為了真實捕捉環境的氛圍，透納經常沉浸在大自然中進行研究，並將現場草圖、記憶和想像融入其中，並將這些元素變成令人驚嘆的畫作。
Turner’s early explorations of the English landscape established him as a passionate observer of the sublime power of nature, and his meticulous depiction of these natural scenes further cemented his fame. To authentically capture the atmosphere of his surroundings, Turner often immersed himself in nature for research, incorporating on-site sketches, memory, and imagination into his paintings, transforming these elements into breathtaking compositions.

⊳走入山間 Walk into the mountains
透納在1802年第一次遊歷歐洲時，立即受到阿爾卑斯山的壯麗景色強烈吸引。他開始穿越山脈進行探險，並使用素描和水彩畫直接記錄他的經歷。透納同時對山脈獨有的光線與氛圍十分著迷，他觀察雪、水和天空的色彩反射，完成了數千項基本元素研究，運用出人意料的大膽色彩，創造出引人注目的效果。他對光線和色彩的掌握，啟發了莫內和法國印象派畫家，而他的創新手法更影響了一代又一代的藝術家創作。
On his first trip to Europe in 1802, Turner was instantly captivated by the majestic beauty of the Alps. He began exploring the mountains, documenting his experiences firsthand through sketches and watercolors. Turner was also captivated by the unique light and atmosphere of the mountains. He observed the reflections of colors in snow, water, and sky, completing thousands of elementary studies and applying unexpectedly bold colors to striking effect. His mastery of light and color inspired Monet and the French Impressionists, and his innovative techniques have influenced generations of artists.

⊳歷史故事 Historical Stories
透納身處的十八世紀，認為栩栩如生地呈現神話或聖經故事的畫作，是高雅藝術中最尊貴的形式，其畫風大多偏向如詩如畫的古典主義風格。而透納卻開創出獨特的新局，他採用古典場景，運用創新的繪畫技巧呈現出不會太理想化、在情感上更具感染力，且符合新興品味的畫作，不僅獲得同時代人們的讚賞，甚至讓之後數個世紀的觀賞者也驚嘆不已。
In the 18th century, Turner lived in a world where paintings that vividly depicted myths or biblical stories were considered the most noble form of fine art. Most paintings tended towards a poetic and picturesque classicism. However, Turner broke new ground. He employed classical scenes and innovative painting techniques to create paintings that were less idealistic, more emotionally affecting, and in line with emerging tastes. His works not only won the admiration of his contemporaries, but also amazed viewers for centuries to come.

⊳威尼斯：壯麗的城市 Venice: A magnificent city
在眾多以威尼斯為主題創作的藝術家中，透納是少數幾位可以將這座壯麗水上城市的獨特氣質，找到情感共鳴的藝術家之一。他的藝術生涯因其成就和創新而引人注目，而他所描繪的威尼斯畫作在第一批觀眾參觀後，立即被認定為他最神奇、最亮眼的作品之一。直至今日，透納的視角依然別具意義，它表達出威尼斯的美麗與哀愁，以及面對大海吞噬的恐怖威脅。
Of the many artists who have depicted Venice, Turner is one of the few who has found an emotional connection with the unique character of this magnificent water city. His career is remarkable for its achievements and innovations, and his paintings of Venice were immediately recognized as some of his most magical and dazzling works upon their first viewing. To this day, Turner’s vision remains uniquely significant, capturing both the beauty and sadness of Venice, and the terrifying threat of the sea swallowing it.

⊳海上風暴 Sea storm
在透納的作品中，海景畫佔了一半以上，包括捕鯨船、漁船、沉船和戰爭的畫作。這些是他最具爆發力、最令人回味的作品。他在畫中捕捉了海洋的危險，以及人類在大自然面前的渺小與無力。
Seascapes comprise over half of Turner’s oeuvre, including paintings of whaling vessels, fishing boats, shipwrecks and battles. These are his most explosive and evocative works, capturing the perils of the ocean and humanity’s insignificance and powerlessness in the face of nature.

⊳海天之間 Between Sea and Sky
透納不僅在畫作中體現大自然的偉大力量，更強調其具有詩意和催眠的特質。他在海洋與天空的描繪中，將飄渺的雲彩、充滿能量的浪花、和洶湧的海浪等細節，進行了數百次近距離研究，若將這些細節放在一起觀察，便可看出透納對海洋和天空最深的敬畏感。
Turner not only captured the majestic power of nature in his paintings, but also emphasized its poetic and hypnotic qualities. His depictions of sea and sky involved hundreds of close studies of details such as drifting clouds, energetic waves, and surging surf. These details, when viewed together, reveal Turner’s profound awe for both the sea and the sky.

⊳大自然的崇高美學 The sublime aesthetics of nature
透納在晚年時期創作了許多純粹描繪光線和氛圍元素的畫作，此類抽像作品包含極少的具像或地形元素，甚至在當時被認為是「未完成的」作品。然而，從透納工作室中保存此類的作品數量來看，他已經將這些件品完成到令他滿意的程度。這些體現透納晚期風格的作品，為他贏得現代繪畫先知的美譽。
In his later years, Turner produced numerous paintings that depict purely light and atmospheric elements. These abstract works, containing minimal figurative or topographical elements, were often considered “unfinished” at the time. However, the number of such works preserved in Turner’s studio suggests that he had completed them to his satisfaction. These works, embodying Turner’s late style, earned him the reputation of a prophet of modern painting.

Curator Elizabeth Brooke noted that the Tate Modern has never loaned such a large number of Turner works at once, including over 40 oil paintings. This will be the largest-ever global touring exhibition. The exhibition will showcase William Turner’s defining influence on painting and the representation of the sublime in Western art through dialogue with works by nearly 30 leading artists, including John Akonfa, Olafur Eliasson, Richard Long, Cornelia Parker, Katie Patterson, Mark Roscoe and Jessica Worboys. She added, “2025 marks the 250th anniversary of Turner’s birth, making this summer’s exhibition in Taiwan even more meaningful. One of the most eye-catching works, ‘Blue Rigi, Sunrise’, will return to the Tate Modern for a 10-year period after its tour. We sincerely invite everyone to seize this rare opportunity and witness the magic of William Turner’s art firsthand.”
