The Discerning Eye Debate 2002
Corporate Art Collections - The Saviour or Death of Contemporary Art?

On the evening of the Friends and Members Private View an interesting and lengthy debate took place on 'Corporate Art Collections'. We were fortunate to have the presence of Gill Hedley (Director of The Contemporary Arts Society), Alistair Hicks (Curator of the Corporate Art Collection at Deutsche Bank), Tony Carter (Principle of The City and Guilds of London Art School) and David Lee (Editor of Jackdaw) who were available to discuss and debate the issue of the evening. Our Chairman, John Caine MBE chaired the debate.

Debates in previous years were held of a lunch time and it was apparent that holding the event in the evening proved to be more popular.

We are currently considering a suitable topic for this years debate, so if you have any suggestions please send them to our Exhibition Organisers, Parker Harris.
