MARIE-LOUISE VON MOTESICZKY CHARITABLE TRUST CHAIR'S REPORT Year ended 5 April 2024 A Painter in Search of an Audience. Marie-Louise von Motesiczky in Exile was the tttle of an online talk by Ines Schlenker on 9 August 2023 for the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art. based in New York- htt s:IlfritzaschersocAe exhibitionovenvmarie-louise-von-motesiczk I Thanks to Ihe efforts of Ines and many others. Marie-Louise has now found an audience. online and in person. with displays springing up all the time. In the period under review this has happened at the Amersham Museum, Burgh House and Hampstead Museum. the Fiknilliam Museum in Cambridge and a new museum in Salzburg: Museum Kunst der verlorenen G8neration (Museum of the Losl Generation). In the latter part of 2024 her famity connection to Sigmund Freud through her matemal grandmother Anna von Lieben. who was one of his earfy patients, will play a part in the Freud Museum London's exhibition aboul the women associated with Freud as patients and colleagues, and his wider influence through the visual arts. Psychoanalyst (1964), Marie-Louise's rather sinister portrait of Freud 5 close associate Emst Kris. a notable art historian. has had a prominent place at the Freud Museum since 2017. The Trust has now entered the final period of tts existence with the works that remain in its possession to be sold at auction later this year. Among the many works distributed as gifts to museums and galleries, it is very gratifybng to know that a goc*J number of them have permanent homes in three of the places wth which she was most closely associated: Vienna. London, in particular Hampstead, and Amersham just beyond where she lived with her mother during the war years. Marie-Louise continued to go back and forth from London until 1960 when they moved to their final home at Chesterford Gardens. Hampstead. The importance of women of all kinds as her subjects (induding herself and her mother). is eVent in two current exhibitions in Amersham: Marie-Louise in Amersham. and at Burgh House: Marie-Louise von Motesiczky."

Marie-Louise von Motesiczky in a letter to Elias Canetti, 1963. An enigmatic composition including a self-portrait by the artist, found its way into HMP Grendon as one of o paintings that were lent under the supervision of Ikon Gallery for a project run by Dean Kelland, the artist in residence funded by the Trust from 2019-23. The men at Gr8ndon chose The Hour because of the tendemess in the relationship between Marie-Louise depicted on the right, and the kneeling figure who has variously been interpreled as either Elias Canetti. her long-time lover. or her mother Henriette. On 26 July 2023 outside guests were invited to Grendon to see the men's own work in response to this painting along The 1967 with one other: Cook attacked by Dragonflies. 1950s. Both compositions are now on permanent display in the Visitors. Centre at Grendon. Page 4
MARIE-LOUISE VON MOTESICZKY CHARITABLE TRUST CHAIR'S REPORT Year ended 5 April 2024 Dean Kelland's residency culminated in his exhibition Imposter Syndrome at Ikon (20 October- 27 December 2023). Related programming at Ikon and Grendon included a symposium at the prison organised with outside guests on 23 November 2023. Dean's response to his five-year residency incorporated film, phoiography and mixed-media works, made in collaboration with the inmates to explore 'masking' as a means of assuming an alter ego. cOnaling personal identity and psychological pain. The media coverage online. in print, on radio and television showed a keen appreciation of what is being achieved at Grendon. In the words of The Telegraph's reviewer: In the light of Britain's contempt for prisoners, Grendon is a politically heroic place. It also, inevitably works.. its inmates rate of recidivism is drastically i'ediiced. Imposter Sviidroine niav be iniDerfect. but- Inuch better- it's a 5erioLlS, sincere show. Like Edmund Clark, his predecessor as artist in residence. Dean made a huge impact, establishing an immediate rapport with the men at Grendon. The Tnjst is grateful to Dean for his contributs'on. especially given th8 circumstances of the pandemic from 2020-22, as we are for the vitsl role played by the member of Ikon staff dedicated to Grendon. James Latunji-cockbill, with support from his colleagues. The sucLess of the artist in residence programme could never have been achieved without the unfailing enthusiasm and understanding of the residents at HMP Grendon. the staff and the Govemors: Rebecca Hayward for Dean's residency and now Olivia Phelps. Another inspiring figure Nwth whom the Trust has been dosely associated for several years is Indhu Rubasingham. Artistic Director of Kiln Theatre in Kilbum until the end of 2023, now Director- designate of the National Theatre in 2025. She has created a legacy of outstanding new writing and perfomiance and of constantly evolving cultural engagement among Kiln's diverse local communities. with which the Trust is proud to be associated. Not all the projects we have funded will come to fruition within the lifespan of the Trust. but one that will do so is the Warburg Renaissance. This has entered its final phase prior to the opening at the beginning of October 2024 of the redeveloped sile. induding the new teaching suite to be named after Marie-Louise. Further ahead but visibly taking shape is Oriel. the joint Moorfields Eye Hospital and University College London clinical and research facility at St Pancras, where the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Trustees attended the groundbreaking ceremony in July 2023.

MARIE-LOUISE VON MOTESICZKY CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES. ANNUAL REPORT Year ended 5 April 2024 3.2 Carers UK The vital support and advocacy provided by Carers UK has been illustrated this past year by Ihe success of the campaign to get the UK'S 2.3 million carers a statutory right to five days unpaid annual leave from their employers. Alongside this is the necessity for a fundamental review of the Carers Allowance, thrown into sharp relief by the overpayments scandal. Carers UK was chosen to be charity of the year in a compelition for creative agencies to design and deliver a campaign for their cause. which brings significant media sponsorship with it.
