Collector Talk — An evening with Anthony d’Offay

This Autumn, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art presents a major solo exhibition by German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer. This exhibition is taken from ARTIST ROOMS, a national collection of contemporary art jointly owned by Tate and National Galleries of Scotland that was established by the art dealer and collector Anthony d’Offay. It includes additional works from Tate’s collection. At this special talk and drinks reception, Anthony d’Offay will discuss how he built his collection of contemporary art and reflect upon some of the unique relationships he developed with artists, including Anselm Kiefer.

There will also be an opportunity to view the exhibition. The ARTIST ROOMS collection comprises over 1100 works by 32 seminal international artists. The collection was established through The d’Offay Donation in 2008, with the assistance of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, the Art Fund and the Scottish and British Governments.

ARTIST ROOMS is being shared with museums and galleries throughout the UK thanks to the support of independent charity, the Art Fund and, within Scotland, the Scottish Government. The ARTIST ROOMS programme of exhibitions and displays are organised in close collaboration with Anthony d’Offay in line with his guiding principle of individual rooms devoted to particular artists so that the work of important post-war artists can be seen and appreciated in depth.

Co-hosted with BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and the Art Fund.
