This is a major gift to the Tate collection of works which will significantly enhance key areas in the representation of twentieth-century British art. The works will go on show at Tate Britain later this year and thereafter will allow Tate to strengthen its displays in many ways, both in London and elsewhere.
Nicholas Serota said:
‘Gifts and bequests from major collectors are the foundation of the national collection of modern and contemporary art. Successive generations, from Henry Tate and Frank Stoop to Anthony d’Offay, Alistair McAlpine, Simon Sainsbury and Janet Wolfson de Botton, have generously given works to Tate for the benefit of the public. Now, Mercedes and Ian Stoutzker join this group of distinguished benefactors. In offering a gift of nine important works, the Stoutzkers have added exemplary individual paintings by two generations of British artists and have greatly enriched the national collection of art after 1960.’
