ING

Finding a theme for the opening of such a dynamic and diversified exhibition is just as challenging for the sponsor as it is for the selectors to decide what will hang on the walls and represent their name.

This year we have given the opening days of The Discerning Eye a Georgian flavour to mark the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase - a financial transaction that saw the size of the United States double and one in which, through our predecessor business Baring Brothers, we played a leading role.

Today ING is one of the world's leading financial institutions, with 113,000 employees around the world and some €491 billion assets under management. ING Bank in London is primarily responsible for ING's wholesale banking activities in the UK, while other ING UK companies cover direct savings banking, asset management, real estate and leasing.

Now in its sixth year, our relationship with The Discerning Eye has been especially fruitful and innovative this year. In October, in partnership with them and with Arts & Business, we organised an exhibition featuring one hundred pictures selected by one hundred staff members drawn from across ING's businesses in the UK. The exhibition aimed to bring together employees from all our different UK businesses and encourage them to become directly engaged in the visual arts.

The exhibition was a huge success and demonstrates how important the arts can be in playing a role in uniting people - regardless of their knowledge or background.

We wish the The Discerning Eye exhibition every success in 2004, with high attendance and many sales, so that it maintains its reputation as a leading and unique event in London's art calendar.

Igno van Waesberghe
CEO, ING UK and Ireland
