Artist Rooms

Artist Rooms is a touring collection of international modern and contemporary art in the United Kingdom, established through the d'Offay donation in 2008.

"[1] In 2001, Anthony d'Offay closed the gallery he had run since 1965 with Anne Seymour and Marie-Louise Laband, and began building a collection of more than 1,000 works from internationally recognized artists, including Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Isaac Julien.

It continues to sponsor the touring program of exhibitions from the collection and facilitates dynamic education projects in each venue.

Thanks to Anthony d’Offay’s generosity, and the hard work and imagination of all those involved in the project, really high quality art has been made available for millions to enjoy up and down the UK.

"[8] Richard Doment wrote that, "it [Artist Rooms] is the most important thing that has happened in the art world in this country in my lifetime.
