permanent headquarters for the CAS at 59 Central Street, London. Nancy Balfour was Chair of the CAS from 1976 to 1982 and President from 1984 to 1997 and built up a major collection of contemporary art from 1943 until her death in 1997. This collection was bequeathed to the CAS in its entirety, with over 100 subsequently donated to museums across the UK. The rest of the works were auctioned at Phillips in 1999 and the proceeds went towards the work of the organisation. In 2012 Eric and Jean Cass donated over 300 works from their personal art collection to the Contemporary Art Society, who invited seven UK-based museums to research the donation and to pitch to receive clusters of works that complemented or enlivened their existing collections. These included works by artists including Karel Appel, Michael Craig-Martin, Barbara Hepworth, Joan Miro, Henry Moore, Victor Pasmore, Eduardo Paolozzi, Pablo Picasso and Niki de Saint-Phalle. The remaining works not appropriate for museum collections were sold to benefit the Fine Art Acquisition scheme. Contemporary Art Society Consultancy Contemporary Art Society Consultancy is an art advisory service for corporate clients and including companies, developers, hospitals, local authorities and universities. The consultancy curates public art projects, manage corporate art collections and produce cultural strategies for developers and local authorities. The fees charged for these services support the charitable mission of the society. The Contemporary Art Society's consultancy services originated in 1976 through a corporate membership scheme set up by Pauline Vogelpoel, then Organising Secretary of the society, and its President, Nancy Balfour. Balfour proposed that companies might buy experimental works for presentation, while the Society would reciprocate with loans or advice on purchases of art for their collections. [minutes, 23/02/1976] Vogelpoel helped Mobil to buy prints for its new London building, which brought the Society a donation of £1,000. In 1977, the first important corporate contact was established with De Beers, and in 1988 Consultancy Art Society Projects was formally created. During the 1980s, the CAS became a major advisor to corporate art collections, working with, among others, ICI, Unilever, and Stanhope Properties plc. In recent years the business has expanded to include public art projects and cultural strategies, alongside its corporate clients. These have included commissions at Heathrow Terminal 5, the Olympic Park in London and a series of works by artists including Mark Wallinger and Richard Wilson for the LSE. In 2017
