I am very excited at the prospect of my first Discerning Eye Exhibition as Chairman albeit a little daunted at the prospect of taking over after John Caine's successful five year tenure. I would like to take this opportunity to thank John for all his hard work and I am delighted that he remains not only on the board but also that he has agreed to chair the Discerning Eye debate again this year which he does with great style.

This special, unique and accessible exhibition is the result of much hard work from many people but particularly from the artists, selectors, Tony Humphreys (our Chief Executive) and his board and Parker Harris, the organisers. I would like to extend a huge thank you to them all for their efforts.

We are also very fortunate with our sponsors, ING, whose support and enthusiasm goes far beyond just writing the cheque. Special thanks go to John Orbell and his team at ING who work so closely with the Discerning Eye team. I hope that this exhibition gives you much pleasure and that you find a work of art to enhance or even begin your collection.
