The 2009 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition
18th exhibition ~ 12 to 22 November 2009

The 2009 ING Discerning Eye Exhibition opened
to the public on Thursday 12 November and
closed on Sunday 22 November.
 
 
The ING Discerning Eye Exhibition is
a show of small works independently
selected
by six prominent figures from
different areas of the art world: two
artists, two collectors and two critics.

Work is selected from open submission and
also from artists invited by the individual selectors.
Each section is hung separately to emphasise
its own distinctive identity. The impression
emerges of six small exhibitions within the whole.

The exhibition provides an unusual opportunity for works by lesser-known artists to be hung alongside contributions from internationally recognised names.

The selectors are solely responsible for their own selection. The only restrictions are limitation of size and to select at least 25% of their section from the open submission.
