AIL scheme last year<\/a>. \u201cThe offer [from the estate of Ann Marks] settled \u00a37.9m of tax and the National Gallery \u2026 has made good the difference of \u00a31.6m,\u201d according to the ACE report.<\/p>\nThree paintings by Ben Nicholson, including Kingwater Valley, Cumberland (1929), were allocated to Kettle\u2019s Yard gallery in Cambridge, while a fourth work by the artist, 1974 (Moonrise), was donated to Pallant House Gallery in Chichester. The four works were accepted as part of AIL from the estate of Angela Verren Taunt. \u201cAll paintings were in acceptable condition and fairly valued,\u201d says the ACE report.<\/p>\n
A collection of 73 photographs by the photographer Bill Brandt (1904-83), created from the 1930s to 1979, was donated by John-Paul Kernot to Tate under the Cultural Gifts Scheme. The report adds that this selection of tonal prints, made around the same time as the negatives, is rich in wartime photographs and landscapes, including Tree in Autumn with crescent moon (1942).<\/p>\n
Vanessa Bell\u2019s Vase, Flowers and Bowl (around 1918-20) was donated to the Charleston Trust in Lewes, also under the CGS initiative, for display at Charleston House, Firle. \u201cThis still life painting is especially interesting as it seems to mark a mid-point between her earlier abstract phase and the more realistic style adopted by Bell in the 1920s,\u201d says the report.<\/p>\n
In 2021, the Radev Collection, which donated Bell\u2019s painting, used the CGS to give the Charleston Trust a group of erotic drawings by Bell\u2019s lover, Duncan Grant. The Radev Collection was founded by Mattei Radev, a post-war Bulgarian migrant to the UK.<\/p>\n
Nicholas Serota, the chair of ACE, says in a statement: \u201cAt a time when public funding is limited and budgets for acquisitions are under considerable pressure, Acceptance in Lieu and the Cultural Gifts Scheme are crucial routes by which public collections can acquire culturally significant objects.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Works by Edgar Degas and Ben Nicholson are among the gifts bestowed to the UK’s public collections as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":374821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[142684,6225,6485,6486,1120,96,10429,10345,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-374820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-acceptance-in-lieu","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-artsanddesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-inheritance-tax","15":"tag-museums-heritage","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=374820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/374820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=374820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=374820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=374820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
