<p>We are not aware of plans to find a permanent home for Abram Games’ collection.
The National Army Museum are currently hosting a major exhibition featuring the wartime
poster of Abram Games (called The Art of Persuasion), running until 24th November.
The exhibition features 49 original artworks from Abram Games that are part of the
Museum’s permanent collection and is the majority of his wartime work. Seven of these
works are on display in their permanent galleries and all items in the Museum’s Abram
Games’ collection is available to access via our Online Collection. Most of the other
items in the current exhibition are on loan from the Estate of Abram Games.</p><p>
</p><p>Other national museums also hold significant collections of his works, including
the V&A, and the Imperial War Museum holds the official war artist archives of
his work.</p><p> </p><p>There is no central fund for museum acquisitions; there are
though a number of government-backed initiatives that help museums acquire nationally
significant collections. Arts Council England runs, on behalf of DCMS, the Cultural
Gift Scheme, through which donors receive a tax reduction based on a set percentage
of the value of the item they donate. And the Arts Council England/V&A Purchase
Grant Fund supports the purchase of a wide range of material for the permanent collections
of non-nationally funded organisations in England and Wales.</p>
