Research & Interpretation
Inmuch the sameway that art galleriesprovideinformationabouttheworksofartondisplay,weprovide the recipientsofourworkswitha rangeof interpretative material. This year informationwas prepared for a range of locations andindividuals including Alistair Darling, Chancellorof the Exchequer; Ed Miliband, Secretary ofState for Climate Change; and Rosie Winterton,MinisterforStateforWorkandPensions.Abroad,wehaveprepared information forAmbassadors’Residences in Oslo, Berlin, Copenhagen,Podgorica, Moscow, New York and Reykjavik,andforEmbassiesinDohaandBelgrade.
New information on the provenances of manyworks in the Collection has been unearthedthrough researching GAC works in the archivesof the Fine Art Society. An almost completeprovenance has been established for The Monument (c.1916–17) by James Pryde, which
waslenttotheexhibitionSculpture in PaintingattheHenryMooreInstitute, Leeds. Extensive research to establish the sitter of ouronlypaintingbyHenryRaeburn resulted inanarticle focusingontheartist’sportraitofDr. James Hamilton (1749–1835) (c1790);andmaterialrelatingtoitsidentificationbyPhilippaMartin(CuratorResearch/Information:Historical).ThiswaspublishedintheautumneditionofThe British Art Journal.AnumberofpublicationswereproducedbyFCOlocationsthisyearwithtextcontributedbytheGAC.LeafletswereissuedforthenewBritishEmbassyoffice inMadridand for thenewlycommissionedworks by Conrad Shawcross, Lothar Götz, Martin Boyce andNathanielRackoweattheMinistryofJusticeinLondon.WhileintheUSA,apublicationabouttheConsul-General’sResidenceinBostonwaspublishedlocallytomarkthe200thanniversaryofthehouse.

An Appreciation
The highly committed and talented team who work at the GACare largely interdependent.Forexample,whenanewworkofartenters the Collection everyone has a part to play, from purchaseto documentation and from copyright clearance to photographicrecord. Likewise, each new selection involves everyone in theteamfromcheckingtheconditionofworkstoarrangingtransport,

and from recording location changes to preparing interpretation.Achieving the sheer number of displays and moves of works ofart each year is testament to the professionalism, expertise anddedicationofmycolleagues,whomIwishtothankmostprofoundlyfortheircontinualhardwork,energyandgoodhumour.
We also benefit from an experienced, astute and knowledgeableAdvisory Committee, which supports and encourages. I wish toexpress my appreciation to them for the time they give us andfor their wise counsel and judgement. In particular, I would liketo thankJuliaSomerville, theChairman, forherunstintingadvice,commitmentandlivelyapproach.
Looking Forward
We are looking forward to the next few years as a time whenwe can fulfil our aim of providing even more public access totheCollection.Thiswillbeheightenedbythefifteenmonthsthatthe GAC exhibition features at the Whitechapel Gallery during2011-2012,aswellasby the launchofournewwebsite,with itsfocus on themes and topical subjects, including several newlycommissioned video podcasts of interviews with artists.
