Angel of the North (life‑size maquette) is a 1:10 scale version of the Antony Gormley’s most famous sculpture, the towering 20‑metre Angel of the North 1994–98 on the site of a disused colliery in northern England. Situated in the National Gallery’s Sculpture Garden, on the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the life‑size angel stands isolated, alert and sentinel‑like. It features a rich rust‑coloured surface of oxidised iron that changes in the Canberra sunlight. Unlike traditional airborne messengers, whose wings are made from feathers, this angel is created with metal dug from the earth. Its matrix of girder‑like ribs recalls the framework of an early monoplane or the weld lines on a battleship. Subtle gestures, such as the gentle angle of the wings, imply an embrace and provide an overall sense of space, and the lack of individual features lends the angel an air of mystery. Angel of the North (life‑size maquette) is a generous donation by James and Jacqui Erskine and one of the most significant gifts ever donated to the National Gallery of Australia.

Photograph: John Gollings

The earthen ceramics of master ceramist Thapich Gloria Fletcher AO grace the collections of many state and national galleries and museums in Australia, and her death earlier this year was deeply felt by the community. She began her career as a painter in the late 1960s before turning her attention to clay. With her community’s endorsement (clay is traditionally only used in her clan group by men), Thapich created beautiful spherical ceramic work for over 40 years. Informed by an intimate knowledge of Thaynakwith law and culture, Thapich’s ceramics reflected the complex narratives of her ancestors. Animals such as kangaroos, emus and fish cover the surfaces of her ceramics and the spaces between are filled with flowing vines. She also designed fabrics, murals and terrazzo works for public institutions and, from 2006, explored the use of cast bronze and aluminium to develop her spherical sculptures. Her impressive 2.7‑metre aluminium work Eran 2010 was commissioned by the Gallery in collaboration with Thapich and generously supported by the Founding Donors 2010 program. The work and its inclusion at the Gallery’s new entrance highlight this important Aboriginal artist at a time when the Gallery is celebrating the richness and diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art in its new collection displays.

Bill Viola is a leading contemporary artist and pioneer of video art. His work has evolved since the 1970s into slow‑motion meditations, with fire and water being two of his most consistent images. Many of his elaborately staged ‘performances’ suggest spiritual or religious ceremonies and notions of rebirth and transformation. Passage into night is one of Viola’s most popular and important works. A female figure is shown in the harsh light and heat of the midday sun. The extreme conditions distort and disturb the air, causing the figure to undulate and flutter. She begins as an apparition within a mirage, a tiny form in the barren landscape. Gradually her person becomes apparent and eventually her dark robes completely obscure the landscape and fill the screen with subtly shifting patterns of dark blue and finally black. Passage into night was completed for Peter Sellars’s 2005 staging of Wagner’s opera Tristan and Isolde and subsequently exhibited as part of the exhibition Love/Death: the Tristan project in 2006.

Krishna, an avatar of the great Hindu god Vishnu, is one of India’s treasured deities. To devotees, he is the perfect embodiment of divinity, a god with human emotions and weaknesses who magically sustains the universe. Legends of his miraculous deeds, pranks and flirtatious nature have inspired the creation of superb art for centuries. Dramatic pichhavai (shrine hangings) are among the most spectacular art forms made in dedication to Krishna. Dance of Love and Shrinathji exemplify the pichhavai created in Nathdvara, Rajasthan, home of a prominent Krishna sect. Shrine hangings, costumed sculptures, sumptuous textiles, religious paraphernalia and offerings are displayed in Nathdvara’s temple during the Autumn Moon festival. Shrinathji depicts the moment the blue god revealed his divinity by lifting a mountain to shelter his village from a storm, while Dance of love commemorates the legendary night when Krishna miraculously multiplied himself to dance with his most passionate followers, the gopis (milkmaids). Both paintings were acquired with the support of generous donors, particularly guests at the 2011 Foundation Gala Dinner and Weekend.

42 national gallery of australia FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT 2010–11 43 Hans Heysen Germany 1877 – Australia 1968 Morning light 1913 oil on canvas 118.6 x 102 cm purchased with funds from the Ruth Robertson Bequest Fund, 2011 in memory of Edwin Clive and Leila Jeanne Robertson

Hans Heysen is one of Australia’s most significant landscape painters, and one of the most successful artists during his own lifetime. He so popularised the river red gum that people began to think it was more typical than it was. Although, surprisingly, he painted only seven major oils on the subject of the gum during the Federation period (1900–1914). One of these was Morning light 1913, which shows two monumental gums before a sweeping pastoral vista. He was particularly enamoured of morning light and was always up before dawn to catch the changing landscape in early sunlight, such as the effect of a cool morning in this painting. Heysen was conscious that he was creating nationalist imagery that would give us a new way of seeing our land and inspire us to love these great gums as he did, which is why he gave them grand titles such as ‘A Lord of the Bush’ and ‘Red gold’. The Gallery held no major giant gum tree oil painting by Heysen from the Federation period prior to acquiring of Morning light, which was purchased with funds from the generous bequest of Ruth Robertson.

Tony Tuckson is one of Australia’s greatest abstract painters and a pioneer of abstract expressionism in this country. The dynamic quality of his mark‑making explores the very nature of painting itself. Red on blue and white 1970–73 is a striking example of the powerful works Tuckson produced in the three years before his death in 1973. The large gestures of red layered over blue and white convey a sense of urgency and spontaneity. Each mark, each layer is a trace of the artist moving across the painting’s surface. His works reveal the painting process in their sheer physicality—so much so that the act of painting becomes, in a way, a subject of the work. As Deputy Director of the Art Gallery of New South Wales from 1957 to 1973, Tuckson was instrumental in building their collection of Australian Indigenous art, and his interest in mark‑making in Indigenous art partly inspired his own distinctive approach to materials and the painted surface. James Erskine’s generous donation this major Tuckson painting enhances the Gallery’s representation of this remarkable Australian painter.

STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Notes 2011 2010 $ $ The National Gallery of Australia Foundation (the Foundation) is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The significant policies which have been applied in the preparation of the financial report are: CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES (a) Basis of Preparation Interest received 156,458 72,219 The financial statements are general-purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance Donations and other receipts 2,330,184 5,949,877 with Australian Accounting Standards (including Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Donations to the NGA (6,563,370) (861,622) Act 2001. Payments to suppliers and employees - (7,800) The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars. The financial report has been prepared in accordance with the mandatory Australian Accounting Standards Net cash provided by operating activities 12 (4,076,728) 5,152,674 applicable to entities reporting under the Corporations Act 2001 and the significant accounting policies disclosed below, which the directors have determined are appropriate to meet the needs of members. Such Net increase in cash held (4,076,728) 5,152,674 accounting policies are consistent with those of the previous period unless stated otherwise. Comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in these financial Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of the financial year 6,298,360 1,145,686 statements where required.

Cash and cash equivalents at end of the financial year 4 2,221,632 6,298,360 (b) Revenue Recognition Interest revenue is recognised as it accrues. Donations and resources received free of charge are recorded as income at the date received. The accompanying notes form part of these financial statements. Donations and bequests are recognised as revenue when received. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(c) Financial Instruments Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions to the instrument. For financial assets, this is equivalent to the date that the company commits itself to either purchase or sell the asset (ie trade date accounting is adopted). Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs except where the instrument is classified ‘at fair value through profit or loss’ in which case transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Classification and subsequent measurement Financial instruments are subsequently measured at either fair value, amortised cost using the effective interest rate method or cost. Fair value represents the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties. Where available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. In other circumstances, valuation techniques are adopted.

Amortised cost is calculated as: i. the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured at initial recognition; ii. less principal repayments; iii. plus or minus the cumulative amortisation of the difference, if any, between the amount initially recognised and the maturity amount calculated using the effective interest method; and iv. less any reduction for impairment.

The effective interest method is used to allocate interest income or interest expense over the relevant period and is equivalent to the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts (including fees, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life (or when this cannot be reliably predicted, the contractual term) of the financial instrument to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. Revisions to expected future net cash flows will necessitate an adjustment to the carrying value with a consequential recognition of an income or expense in profit or loss.
