I am delighted to introduce the latest annual report of the Tate Americas Foundation, which supports Tate by acquiring art from the Americas and by making grants to for exhibitions, scholarship and capital programs.

2014 was a particularly successful year, with over $14.3 million in cash gifts received. During the year, our board voted grants to Tate totaling $9.5 million and we were happy to have been significant funders of the Henri Matisse: The Cut Outs and Richard Tuttle: I Don’t Know . The Weave of Textile Language exhibitions both of which opened at Tate Modern in 2014.

There were two important changes to our Board of Trustees during the year. Firstly, Frances Bowes stepped down after ten years of service. We have benefited greatly from Frances wit, wisdom and guidance, and we are enormously grateful that she will continue to stay closely involved with our work. Secondly, we were delighted to welcome Marjorie Susman to the board. Marjorie recently returned from four years in London, where her husband, Louis, was American Ambassador. Together they showcased great American modern and contemporary art the Ambassador’s residence, Winfield House, as part of the Art in Embassies exhibition program. During her time in London, Marjorie was instrumental in creating a series of lectures at Tate Modern, the American Artist Lecture Series.

In May 2014, we held our first ever Benefactors and Artists Dinner at the Four Seasons Pool Room. Intended to keep our community connected between our “every three years” benefit gala in New York, this event also provided the opportunity to express our appreciation to our higher level benefactors. The event, which received support from Phillips, was hosted by Sir Nicolas Serota and featured a conversation with Richard Tuttle and Achim Borchardt-Hume. It was such a success that we plan a similar event in 2015.

Until then, and as always, thank you for your support!

Jeanne Donovan Fisher Chair, Tate Americas Foundation

Feliza Bursztyn 1933 – 1982Untitled 1968 from Las Histéricas Series

Feliza Bursztyn was an experimental Colombian artist, active during the 1960s and 70s. She studied at the Art Sudents League in New York and with Ossip Zadkine in Paris and was part of the first generation of sculptors to go beyond the still object on a pedestal and traditional, “noble” materials. Bursztyn worked with everyday objects or discarded materials, usually wire, rods and scraps of metal. Her later works included movement, and she installed them in the exhibition space as veritable mise en scenes, which involved dramatic lighting and sometimes music. Bursztyn influenced a generation that was trying to break free from a formalist approach to sculpture in Colombia, and was a driving force of the intellectual milieu of the time. In 1981 Bursztyn was forced into exile for her political views and went to live in Paris, where she died a year later.

Bursztyn’s estate was kept in custody by her long-time companion and collaborator, Pablo Leyva, who has spent more than two decades classifying the remaining works in the studio. Only in the last few years has Bursztyn’s work resurfaced in the public realm, with a survey organized by the National Museum in Bogotá in 2009. Since then, discrete groups of works have been acquired by or donated to public and private institutions such as the National Museum and the Banco de la República museum.

This sculpture was part of a series of 27 works made in 1968, when Bursztyn was experimenting with assemblage and movement. The title of the series Histéricas (Hyistericals) references the capricious nature of the works, as well as the randomness of their movement and the shrieking sounds some of them made. The Histéricas were highly theatrical works, foregoing their cold industrial nature by referencing the body and other organic shapes. Their movement also departs from the expected reliability and cadence proper of the machine, opting instead for an aesthetic of unpredictability, precariousness and chaos.

Jac Leirner 8 Levels 2012

Metal, plastic, wood70 x 7230 x 35 mm (2 ¾ x 284 ½ x 1 1/3 inches)To be purchased by Tate Americas Foundation, courtesy of the Latin American Acquisitions Committee© Jac LeirnerPhoto: Ben WestobyCourtesy White Cube

Jac Leirner was born in São Paulo in 1961, where she continues to live and work. She studied at the Fundação Armando Álvares Penteado and has exhibited extensively both within and outside Brazil and Latin America since the beginning of her career. Prior this acquisition, Leirner was represented in the Tate’s collection by a single work, Blue Phase 1991, an important early floor-based sculptural work in two parts. She is considered one of the key artists to emerge from Latin America, and, in particular, Brazil, in the late 1980s and early 90s. She was one of the most prominent of a generation of artists who were instrumental in positioning Latin American art in international and mainstream exhibitions during the 90s and as such she is a key priority to build on her existing representation in the collection.

8 Levels is a wall-based sculptural work consisting of eight, differently colored spirit levels lined up end to end. It is hung high on the wall and because of this, along with its industrial look and bright colors, recalls the reliefs of minimalist artist Donald Judd. 8 Levels was made for the exhibition Hardware Silk at Yale School of Art’s Edgewood Gallery in 2012, curated by Robert Storr, but was also included in Jac Leirner’s solo exhibition also titled Hardware Silk at White Cube, Mason’s Yard in 2013. In 8 Levels the industrial quality of the tools is clearly a concern, as is her ongoing dialogue with artists she admires and also her ongoing engagement with color, and particularly the interaction of different colors in which she has been influenced by the color theories and deployment of color of Paul Klee, Josef Albers and Hélio Oiticica as well as the work of Donald Judd. 8 Levels particularly evokes Judd’s work though the use of industrially manufactured materials, painted bright colors and hung above head height on the gallery wall.

Roni Horn is a major American artist and had her first retrospective at Tate Modern in 2009, jointly organized with the Whitney Museum of American Art. Tate owns two early text sculptures, a large drawing, a print, a series of photographs, and a set of her books about Iceland. The major component of Horn’s practice which Tate does not represent is her glass sculpture. Roni Horn began working with glass in the mid-1970s with a set of colored glass wedges that she installed on shelves in a number of contiguous domestic rooms. In the mid-90s she returned to the material and began a body of cast glass sculptures. All these works have opaque rough edges where the glass has been in contact with the mold, and extremely shiny and transparent fire-polished top surfaces. The sculptures differ in size, shape and color. The glass takes months to set and the works are extremely heavy; the works are sometimes made as pairs or in groups, and at other times singly.

Pink Tons 2009 is the largest glass sculpture Horn has produced to date. The sculpture is scaled to the size of the body and to the size of early minimalist works such as Tony Smith’s Die (1962) and it can be seen as a belated reply to the machismo of such works. In the gallery the work has a looming presence and from a distance one has a sense of its great weight. But as one approaches it is possible to look into the top surface and this sense of heaviness makes way for an extraordinary impression of liquidity. It is like looking into a brilliantly clear pool of water. The work also changes with the light around it; shafts of light pick out tiny air bubbles or the striations of the bottom surface. As hard as it is, the work’s luminous character makes it feel more human and more changeable.

Jacqueline Humphries Untitled 2014

Oil paint on linen2896 x 3226 mm (114 x 127 inches)Lent by Tate Americas Foundation, courtesy of the North American Acquisitions Committee with additional assistance from Komal Shah and Gaurav Garg © Courtesy of the artist and Greene Naftali, New York

Jacqueline Humphries was born in 1960 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and lives and works in New York. At the center of a contemporary discussion in American painting about the enduring relevance of abstraction amongst peers including Amy Sillman, Charline von Heyl and Laura Owens, she continues to renegotiate received art historical narratives, confronting the tropes of abstract expressionism in an attempt to deconstruct the mode’s by-now gendered associations and connotations of redundancy.

Untitled is an oil painting on linen produced in the artist’s studio in New York in 2014. Large scale and almost square in format, it depicts an abstract composition of gestural marks and lines set against, and scratched into, a ground of densely applied metallic silver and black paint. A bold black border frames the composition near the extremities of the canvas, and specks of orange, pink, blue and green paint are dappled throughout the pictorial space. The surface of the work bears the marks of a wide range of techniques – as paint is applied, smudged, pushed, dripped and scraped to different thicknesses and in different directions – and layering is used as a complex and often confusing technique, blurring the boundaries between different levels of applied pigment and making it difficult to decipher which color sits on top of which.

Whilst the painting may look at first glance like a debt to the abstract expressionist technique it is, however, a more complex entity. Whilst some of Humphries mark-making techniques seek to problematize the process of applying paint to canvas, others are conceptual strategies designed to undermine abstract expressionist expectations. Nonchalant dribbles that seem to result from accidentally dripping overly viscous paint are instead deliberately constructed or ‘faked’, and orientated in a number of directions, indicating the mobility of the canvas during the process.

Jeff Wall Figures on a Sidewalk 2008

Photograph, inkjet print on paper 1714 mm x 1410 mm x 54 mm (67½ x 55½ x 2 1/8 inches)Edition of 4 with 2 AP, Number 1 in the edition Presented by Carla Emil and Richard Silverstein (Tate Americas Foundation) 2014© Jeff Wall

Made in 2008, Figures on a Sidewalk is a prime example of Jeff Wall’s recent work in inkjet, or what he terms ‘opaque’ prints, and the generous gift enhances the four lightboxes by Wall dating from 1993 to 2005 that are currently held in the Tate’s collection.

Figures on a Sidewalk is a large-scale color inkjet print depicting a vernacular street scene. Shot from a vantage point that is just a little higher than that of a pedestrian, the viewer gains a cinematic perspective on an everyday, entirely unremarkable sight: an individual walking toward the camera, holding a small package in her hand, head down, her attention seemingly focused on her thoughts as opposed to her surroundings as others pass close by. Though a constructed scene, Wall’s use of perspective and positioning of his subjects creates the impression that just a split-second later the subject would have walked out of shot, offering a sense of the fleeting moment in the manner of traditional street photography. The street, specifically the street as a site for constant, forgettable, but highly revealing interactions, has long been an important motif in Wall’s work.

The print is a recent example of the conceptual and technical sensibilities in photography that Wall has developed from early on in his career. Having studied art history at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, and completed postgraduate research at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, he came to international prominence in the early 1980s with a highly analytical, art-historically referential approach to the medium of photography. Presenting banal scenes of the contemporary everyday as formally rigorous, pre-meditated photographic tableaux, it is an approach that has since been credited with laying the foundations of post-conceptual photography.

Carrie Mae Weems is an American artist celebrated for her use of photography, text, and video and her representation of the African American experience. She has exhibited her work since the 1980s and is part of a generation of African American artists that includes Lorna Simpson, Glenn Ligon, Kara Walker, and Fred Wilson, all of whom are represented in the Tate collection. From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried 1995–6 is considered alongside the Kitchen Table Series 1990 as Weems’s historically most important work. It comprises thirty-three photographs mounted in black frames with etched texts on the glass, and was made when Weems was invited by the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles to make a work in response to an exhibition of images of African Americans in early photography. She researched various archives and selected a range of thirty-one nineteenth and twentieth century images showing black men and women in America; these images had been made in different contexts by different photographers. Most show slaves; some show black women in the 1920s, and the last image seems to date from the 1960s and the context of the Civil Rights movement. Weems re-photographed and enlarged the images, overlaying them with a red tint. The photographs were mounted behind glass in black frames, and Weems wrote texts to be etched into the glass, so the images would be seen through the words.

Through the re-working of archival photographs, in From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried Weems has created a new representation of the history of African Americans.
