The redevelopment of Burlington Gardens and link with Burlington House is supported by the National Lottery though the Heritage Lottery Fund. Annual Report 2015/16

Covering the period 1 September 2015 - 31 August 2016

The Royal Academy of Arts is an independent charity led by eminent artists and architects. We promote the understanding, appreciation and practice of art through exhibitions, learning and debate. As we approach our 250th anniversary, the RA is evolving. The redevelopment of our campus will enable us to stage an even more ambitious public programme, reveal more of our Collection and the work of our art school, and offer a better welcome to our Friends and visitors. 8 President’s foreword 10 Secretary and Chief Executive’s introduction

82 The year in art 92 Appendices

The Academy was founded in 1768 by George III. As a royal President’s institution, we were greatly honoured this year to be part of Her foreword Majesty The Queen’s 90th birthday celebration. To mark the occasion, St James’s House produced a commemorative album which featured the Royal Academy. We are grateful to the Duke of for his longstanding patronage of the Friends of the Royal Academy and welcome his successor in this role, the Duchess of . Both are outstanding supporters of the Academy and what it stands for.

Royal honours were accorded to individual Academicians. Eileen Cooper, Keeper of the RA, and Trevor Dannatt were awarded the OBE, and Phyllida Barlow a CBE. and Michael Craig- Martin were knighted. In a year in which we welcomed three new Royal Academicians – Sonia Boyce, Brian Catling and Vanessa Jackson – we were saddened to learn of the death of Ellsworth Kelly Hon RA, as well as those of two of Britain’s most prominent architects: Zaha Hadid DBE RA and Michael Manser CBE RA PPRIBA Hon FRAIC. They shall be sincerely missed.

The past year’s exhibitions ranged from Giorgione to Ai Weiwei, Liotard to Hockney, and illustrated the breadth of subject matter for which the RA’s distinctive programme is so often praised. This attention to the historical span of art is one that I am sure every Academician shares, and I would like to thank them once again for their commitment to the continuing success of the Royal Academy of Arts.

Christopher Le Brun PRA President of the Royal Academy

‘The past year’s exhibitions ranged from Giorgione to Ai Weiwei, Liotard to Hockney, and illustrated the breadth of subject matter for which the RA’s distinctive programme is so often praised.’

2015/16 proved a remarkable year for the Royal Academy. We hosted Secretary and several of the year’s most visited exhibitions. The Art Newspaper Chief Executive’s recorded Ai Weiwei as having the highest daily attendance among introduction paying exhibitions in London in 2015. As we entered 2016, Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse attracted even greater numbers, and our presentations of Jean-Etienne Liotard and In the Age of Giorgione brought the work of lesser-known masters to a broader public. Our thriving art school – the Royal Academy Schools – attracted its highest ever number of applicants, and more people than ever before participated in our learning and access programmes.

These statistics are a measure of our success in maintaining a vital and popular programme while redeveloping Burlington Gardens. We are midway through the building project that will be completed in our 250th anniversary year. The project made excellent progress, clearing large new areas for displays, a learning centre and the new bridge linking Burlington House with Burlington Gardens.

We are grateful, as ever, for all the support we receive from our sponsors and donors, the Friends and Patrons of the RA at home and abroad, and the staff who faced the challenge of working across a split site during the construction process with efficiency, enthusiasm and a continuing commitment to the future of the RA. This year, I would particularly like to thank Lord Davies, the chairman, and members of the Board of Trustees of the Royal Academy Development Trust. It is 35 years since the Trust was founded and it has been, and will continue to be, vital to the success of all our fundraising.

Finance and sustainability

To fulfil our objectives and safeguard our future Strong attendances, successful fundraising, the support of Friends and Patrons, and commercial savvy keep the RA in a strong financial position. Targeted investment in the building and its infrastructure ensures the RA’s long-term sustainability and future success.

70 The RA had an excellent year in terms of financial performance. Exhibition attendances were high, retail income was better than anticipated and the hugely popular Friends scheme, so essential to our financial sustainability, attracted the highest number of members ever. With our major building redevelopment in hand, we are on course for its successful completion in 2018. Visitor numbers were vital in helping us to deliver our goals, attracting greater subscription rates to the Friends scheme and higher commercial revenues. In 2015/16 the RA received 1.3m visits, the highest in 15 years. Friends and Patrons Time Out recognised the Friends of the RA as one of the top museum memberships in 2015/16.
