In 2003, Frieze and Tate collaborated to establish the first acquisitions fund connected to an art fair. The Outset Contemporary Art Fund brought together a group of London collectors who have since contributed in excess of £500,000 to enable Tate to annually acquire major new works fair by significant international artists. Since 2003 the Fund has enabled acquisitions of works by: Fikret Atay, Olafur Eliasson, Anri Sala and Yutaka Sone Gabriel Kuri, Simon Starling, Catherine Sullivan, Dan Perjovschi, Trisha Donnelly, Philippe Parreno, Bruno Serralongue, Rivane Neuenschwander / Cao Guimaraes, Christopher Williams, Thomas Hirschhorn, Anna Barriball, David Shrigley, Pawel Althamer, Martin Boyce, Jeremy Deller & Alan Kane, Jesper Just, Mark Leckey, Scott Myles, Frank Nitsche, Henrik Olesen, Roman Ondák, The Atlas Group/Walid Raad, Pae White, Stanley Brouwn, Alexandre da Cunha, David Lamelas, Zoe Leonard, Daria Martin, Matthew Monahan, Deimantas Narkevicius and Anri Sala.
Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate said: “Limited public funding for acquisitions makes the purchase of contemporary work increasingly challenging. We are particularly grateful to the continuing support of the Outset/Frieze Art Fair Fund which has enabled Tate to significantly extend its Collection of work by new and emerging artists.
