We continue to emphasise the broader diplomatic function that art can play by selecting works that link Britain with the rest of the world in embassies and diplomatic buildings abroad, which this year included Copenhagen, Cairo and Moscow. Acquisitions Outset/Government Art Collection Fund This year saw the establishment of a new partnership, the Outset/ Government Art Collection Fund. Founded in 2003, Outset is an independent international organisation that supports new art within the public arena through private funding. The aim of the Fund is to add 12 important new works of art to the Collection over three years. The first work given to the GAC as a result of the Fund was a large-scale photograph by Isaac Julien, followed by an acrylic painting on vintage textile by Shezad Dawood. Aside from the Outset/GAC Fund acquisitions, other new works were acquired, including an abstract painting by the late Jon Thompson, an oil painting by Dexter Dalwood and a portfolio of 20 prints including Gillian Ayres, Gordon Cheung and Howard Hodgkin. We also purchased a rare historical portrait of King Henry VIII by an Unknown 16th-Century Anglo-Flemish artist.

  • Origins of Grosvenor House
    Origins of Grosvenor House Until the 1730s, the site on which the Grosvenor House Hotel now stands was meadow and pasture land. The land was owned by the Grosvenor family, early property developers who eventually became the richest urban landlords in England. With their financial success came social advancement and in 1874 the head of the Grosvenor family was created the first Duke of Westminster by Queen Victoria. The first building on the site was a large detached house located on the south side of Upper Grosvenor Street, and its first owner was Lord Chetwynd. The house passed through several owners, including the Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II and commander at the Battle of Culloden (1746). The Duke of Gloucester, brother of King George III, acquired the house in the 1760s and lived there for 40 years. The house became known as Gloucester House. The property changed hands again in 1806 when Lord Grosvenor purchased it. When he moved in, in 1808, the house was re-named Grosvenor House. It remained the Grosvenor family’s London home for over 100 years. At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the house was put at the disposal of the Government, and occupied by the Food Controller’s Department until 1920. By then the Duke of Westminster had decided not to re-occupy the house, so it was sold. The purchaser was a commercial speculator Mr A.O. Edwards. It was Edwards who built what is now the Grosvenor House Hotel between 1927 and 1929. Building the Hotel Alfred Octavius Edwards, founder and chairman of Doncaster-based Edcaster Ltd, acquired the lease of Grosvenor House in 1925 and formed a company, Grosvenor House Ltd, to develop the site.

  • Representations of Riot
    Representations of Riot: The Transformation of the Gordon Riots from History into Cultural Myth Yevgeniya Zbrizher An honors thesis submitted to the History Department of Rutgers University, written under the supervision of Professor Alastair Bellany. Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey April 2011 Table of Contents Acknowledgements ii Introduction 1 Chapter One: Prologue to Riot 12 Chapter Two: ―A Time of Terror‖: Contemporary Witnesses‘ Representations of the Riots 25 Chapter Three: The Making of a Myth of Riot: Transition from History to Cultural Legend 55 Chapter Four: Romantic Riot: Dickens‘ Barnaby Rudge 88 Chapter Five: Scholarly Interpretations of the Gordon Riots 110 Conclusion 133 Appendix: The Rabble‘s Orgy 139 Bibliography 140 i Acknowledgements I would like to take this opportunity to thank several people who assisted with the production of this thesis, to whom I am extremely grateful. Professor Peter Silver‘s classes were a model for the way that history should be taught and studied; they provided a framework for me to learn about and appreciate primary source research. Professor Silver helped me to focus my research interests as I prepared to write a thesis; I had been interested in studying crowd violence, and he suggested the Gordon riots to me as a potential thesis topic because they were fascinating and historically neglected. As I began to research them, I appreciated the fascination and mystery that they held, as well as the opportunity to delve deeper into a topic that has not been overly-researched. I am grateful to Professor Silver for his suggestions and encouragement. I also want to thank Professor Masschaele for organizing the history honors program and providing a structured environment in which to research and write a thesis.
