This is shown by the record number of loans we have made in the UK and abroad. While continuing to build our Collection to reflect the changes in art practice we have also enhanced the way we share it. It has been enriched through the energetic focus of our curators on acquiring works from dynamic emerging art centres across the world. Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate said: This year we have taken our Collection in new directions. Regional acquisition committees are now in place for Latin America, North America, Middle East and Asia Pacific region, making Tates international acquisition remit unique. Acquisitions included works by artists from Algeria, Lebanon, Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Cuba, South Africa and Korea. It was also announced today that Tate solely acquired works by significantly more international artists than in previous years, from regions in the world that have been little represented in the national Collection of contemporary art. Tate also secured further funding for its national network of galleries and museums, which expanded from ten to eighteen partners. Tate toured fifteen of its exhibitions to nearly twenty international venues across ten different countries. The tour was made possible through the generosity of the Art Fund and, in Scotland, of The Scottish Government. The inaugural tour of the ARTIST ROOMS collection, acquired by Tate and the National Galleries of Scotland from Anthony dOffay through part gift/part purchase, reached wide audiences when it traveled across the UK to fourteen galleries.

This increase is a direct result of a greater focus by Tate on its national and international programme, transforming the way it exhibits the Collection and shares expertise with partners in the UK and abroad.įrom Jenny Holzer in Woking to JMW Turner in Beijing, René Magritte in Mexico City to Bruce Nauman in Warsaw, audiences at over 252 venues saw works lent from the Tate Collection. LONDON.- At a press conference on 9 September on the publication of its Annual Report 2009/10 and presentation of its 2011 programme, Tate announced that the year was the most successful on record for art works lent from Tate Collection to venues across the world.
