Taking world-class art to 16 further venues across UK

the UK-wide tour of Anthony d’Offay’s post-war and contemporary art collection, is set to continue in 2010 – taking outstanding contemporary art to 16 additional venues throughout the UK.
Anthony d'Offay
Anthony d’Offay’s guiding principle for the creation of ARTIST ROOMS was the concept of individual rooms devoted to particular artists. ARTIST ROOMS on Tour with The Art Fund supported by the Scottish Government has been devised to take those displays beyond the collection’s owners, Tate and National Galleries of Scotland, and to reach and inspire new audiences across the country, particularly of young people. D’Offay said that at an early age “experiencing wonderful art had a profound impact on me and I hope this tour will do the same for people who live outside the capital.”
The Art Fund gave £250,000 towards the 2009 tour and will give the same amount in 2010.
As a charity dedicated to bringing great art to people all over the UK, The Art Fund is proud to be turning d’Offay’s vision into a reality.
