This calendar serves as a curated visual record of significant acquisitions made by the Tate gallery at the turn of the millennium. The author, Giovan Battista Ramusio, compiles a selection of twelve notable works to provide a functional organizational tool for the year 2001. The publication functions as both a practical scheduling device and a portable gallery of modern and historical art.

This publication is categorized as a functional reference item rather than a scholarly text. Collectors and art enthusiasts utilize such calendars primarily for their visual content and historical snapshot of museum acquisitions.
