By Roy Apps. An art lover is captivated one of Tate Modern's most celebrated installations

By Roy Apps. Art lover Anthony is captivated one of Tate Modern's most celebrated installations - The Pack, by the German artist Joseph Beuys. Read by Sidney Sloane.

The second in the series celebrating Tate Modern's 10th birthday is a monologue performed by Sidney Sloane, (well-known to younger listeners as a CBeebies TV presenter). He plays Anthony, an art-lover with a particular interest in one of Tate Modern's most celebrated installations: The Pack, by the German artist Joseph Beuys. 

An astonishing creation, in which 24 sledges are arranged behind the open rear-door of a Volkswagen Campervan, it captivates him completely. In this story he struggles to determine the truth behind its conception.
