Sad about moving out for gallery as declared (6)

I believe the answer is:

stated

(Other definitions for stated that I've seen before include "Put in words, said" , "Asserted, affirmed" , "Clearly expressed" , "Declared or asserted" , "Uttered, expressed in words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
