who are represented in the Tate’s permanent collection. The
event will celebrate the opening of the new extended and
re-hung Tate Modern in June 2016, one of the most exciting
developments in the art world within the last decade.
Seven co-chairs, each a major force for the arts in
communities across the Americas, will lend their dynamic
leadership to the evening. This year’s co-chairs include:
Estrellita Brodsky (New York), Kira Flanzraich (Miami),
Pamela Joyner (San Francisco), Komal Shah (San Francisco),
Robert Sobey (Stellarton, Canada), Christen Wilson (Dallas),
and Juan Yarur Torres (Santiago, Chile).
Richard Hamilton, Director, Tate Americas
Foundation, says, “After establishing the first
acquisitions committees for Tate in 2001-2, Tate Americas
Foundation has played a major role in expanding the global
reach of the Tate’s world-class collection. The New Tate
Modern will be the most important new cultural building to
open in the UK for almost twenty years, and we are
enormously grateful to Oscar de la Renta and Rolls-Royce and
our co-chairs for their generosity in underwriting such an
important celebration.”

About Tate Americas Foundation
Tate Americas Foundation is an independent charity based in
New York that raises support for Tate from individuals,
foundations, and corporations in the Americas. The charity
was founded in 1987, when Sir Edwin and Lady Manton created
the American Fund for the Tate Gallery, a restricted
endowment to acquire works of art from North and South
America for presentation to Tate. The organization,
previously known as American Patrons of Tate, was renamed
the Tate Americas Foundation in early 2013 to reflect the
organization’s evolving role and expanding geographical base
of support. Since 1999, the charity has raised over $210
million in cash donations and acquired $76 million in art
(through purchase or gift). For more information, please
