Mission Statement

The Foundation exists to create an eclectic collection of art. It will make this collection available to the public, through various means, in order to provide pleasure and education. It will aim to increase the reputation of artists represented in the collection and to widen awareness of their work.

Aims and Objectives

• The Foundation will create an eclectic collection of 20^th and 21^st century artworks.

• Acquisitions to the collection may consist of two or three-dimensional works, created in any media or materials.

• Acquisitions will be selected on their individual merits rather than by precedents set by previous acquisitions, the critical reputation of the artist or the presence or absence of other factors.

• The educating and edifying work of the Foundation will be managed mainly through its web site and through public exhibitions of works in the collection. It will employ other means where deemed suitable.

• The Foundation will operate as a private organisation, not a charity. It will not be a grant-giving body. Although the Foundation will accept donations of artworks, it will not solicit gifts, nor will it seek financial aid.
