Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: It seems that the commentaries accompanying R B Kitaj's paintings in his retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery in 1994 are still a matter of controversy ("Kitaj and the firing squad", 27 May).
I should therefore like to record my appreciation of these. At an exhibition, I find it far more rewarding, after straining through my bifocals, to find such informative commentaries than simply to learn that a work is "Untitled, 1990. Private collection, Switzerland".
