As the new Chairman of Discerning Eye, I would like to pay tribute to my predecessor Ian Laing and his board of Directors, Caroline Laing, Jeremy Mogford, Hilary Mogford and the exhibition director Annabel Elton. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to them for all they have done since Discerning Eye began.

I am extremely grateful for the support the exhibition has received for a second year from His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and thank him for being one of this year's panel of selectors. I would also like to thank his fellow selectors, Susan Moore, Michael Reynolds, Ray Richardson, Brian Sewell and Anthony Solomons. They have all been enormously supportive and very generous with their time.

We offer our sincere thanks to ABN AMRO Hoare Govett, whose sponsorship has made this exhibition possible. I am particularly indebted to Robert Benton and his staff for all their enthusiasm and help. We have also benefited from an invaluable contribution from ABSA in both professional advice and partnership funding. I am most grateful to Colin Tweedy and his colleagues.

Finally, I would like to thank my fellow Directors and especially Michael Reynolds. Throughout our planning and preparation we have been admirably and wisely advised by Betty Hicks, Emma Parker and Penelope Harris.

This annual exhibition was established to provide an opportunity for unknown artists to hang their work alongside recognised artists and for you to use your discerning eye. I hope you will enjoy doing just that.
