Tate will announce details of the works that have been acquired at this year’s Frieze Art Fair through the Outset/Frieze Art Fair Fund to benefit the Tate Collection. 

“Frieze London 2014” is going to take place from Wednesday 15 October to Saturday 18 October in Regent's Park in London, and there will be over 150 of the world's leading contemporary galleries.

Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate said: “For more than a decade, the Outset Contemporary Art Fund has played a major role in helping Tate to build the national collection of contemporary art for the benefit of audiences across the country and in London. We are immensely grateful to Outset for this support.”

The annual fund allows Tate to buy important works at the fair for the national collection. Over ￡1 million has been spent and 94 works by 64 artists have been collected. This year the fund is set at ￡150,000 and the selection panel includes Agustín Pérez Rubio, Laurence Rassel, Frances Morris, Ann Gallagher, Tanya Barson and Clarrie Wallis.
