Tate Britain director Alex Farquharson said: “This presentation will offer a significant moment to recognise and celebrate a selection of Britain’s most important artists working from the 1960s to the present day.”
Opening in April, it will feature painting, photography, sculpture, drawing and film.
Around 60 works, by artists such as Mona Hatoum, Sarah Lucas and Bridget Riley, as well as Turner Prize winners Tomma Abts and Rachel Whiteread, will go on show.
