Murdoch’s Daughter Elisabeth Gives Tate at Least $1.6 Mln

Elisabeth Murdoch, daughter of News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, has given Tate at least 1 million pounds ($1.6 million), the U.K. museum group said.

Elisabeth Murdoch -- founder of the TV production company Shine Group Ltd. -- is a Tate board member whose four-year term expires in August. Her gift will help fund educational facilities at Tate Modern’s planned 215 million pound new wing, Tate said in an e-mailed statement.
