Welcome to the third Discerning Eye Exhibition. As in previous years, six eminent selectors have brought together their personal choices of small works, representing some of the best of contemporary British art. Each selection is hung together, creating its own distinct identity with a mixture of established and unknown artists.

This year's selectors are: artists John Ward, CBE, RA, PVPRP, RWS and Glynn Williams, Professor of Sculpture, Royal College of Art; collectors Christopher Lloyd, Surveyor of The Queen's Pictures, and His Honour Judge Stephen Tumim, Chairman of the British Art Markets Standing Committee; and critics Lady Marina Vaizey, Editor of Art Quarterly, and Robin Simon, Editor of Apollo Magazine, Art Critic of the Daily Mail.

There is no limitation of form, medium or style of works submitted other than that they should be small. This ensures that a greater number of artists can be exhibited including many who have had little previous opportunity to appear before the public.

Every unknown artist exhibited is eligible for one of the Discerning Eye Awards, the winners being chosen by joint decision of the six selectors. Former prizewinners have been given the opportunity to display further examples of their work separately. Some have enjoyed notable success in their subsequent careers, becoming established in private and public collections.

The Discerning Eye is a non-profit making exhibition. It's final objective is to encourage public opinion to be more influential and constructive, for it is to the public that artists must appeal as the principal buyer and ultimate judge of their work.

The Discerning Eye was conceived, financed and planned by Ian Laing, Michael Reynolds and Annabel Elton with help and advice from James Cooke for this third exhibition. Together they would particularly like to thank:

The Discerning Eye relies on the enthusiasm and goodwill of many people. Thank you to them all for enabling this splendid and worthwhile exhibition to take place.
