Outset Contemporary Art Fund was founded in 2003 as a philanthropic organisation dedicated to supporting new art. The annual fund at Frieze London allows Tate to buy important works at the fair for the national collection.

This year the Fund is set at £150,000 and the selection panel includes Agustín Pérez Rubio (Artistic Director, MALBA, Buenos Aires) and Laurence Rassel (Director, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, Barcelona) as well as Frances Morris (Head of Collections, International Art, Tate), Ann Gallagher (Head of Collections, British Art, Tate), Tanya Barson (Curator, International Art, Tate) and Clarrie Wallis (Curator, Contemporary British Art, Tate).

The fund is organised and financed by Outset and in 2014 enjoys continued support from Leviev Extraordinary Diamonds.

Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate said: “For more than a decade, the Outset Contemporary Art Fund has played a major role in helping Tate to build the national collection of contemporary art for the benefit of audiences across the country and in London. We are immensely grateful to Outset for this support.”
