Annenberg was a media-mogul who owned an impressive collection of 20th-century art. Nixon appointed Annenberg as ambassador to the UK. After a rough start, he became quite popular, eventually being given an honorary knighthood. He served from 1969 to 1974. These pieces were loaned to the Tate to exhibit (Sept. 2 - Oct. 8, 1969) before moving them to the Embassy Residence. It's likely Annenberg had the catalogs printed (in Englewood, NJ) and donated to the Tate. Includes work by Bonnard, Picasso, Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Van Gogh, and more.
