LONDON, 5 February 2008 — Newton Investment Management has announced its sponsorship of the forthcoming Ansel Adams exhibition at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh from 9 February to 19 April. Entitled 'Ansel Adams: Celebration of Genius', this is the first ever viewing of Adams' original photos in Scotland.

A collection of 150 photographs by Ansel Adams, selected from the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film, will be accompanied by images from Edinburgh born photographer Lindsay Robertson. Universally acclaimed as a 'great master of photography', Adams is one of only a few photographers whose name and work enjoys worldwide recognition.

Commenting on Newton's participation in the event, Edinburgh-based Director of Investment Management, Mike Connor, said: " We are honoured to be involved in such a prestigious event. Adams' technical mastery combined with his highly artistic compositions complement our own ideas-based culture."

Councillor Deirdre Brock, Convenor of the Culture and Leisure Committee, City of Edinburgh Council, said: "We are delighted that Newton is supporting the Ansel Adams exhibition with Lindsay Robertson at the City Arts Centre. This is a high profile exhibition by one of the most respected photographers in the world and Newton are ideal partners to have on board."

Lindsay Robertson added: "My involvement with this exhibition has been a long and incredible journey since 2005. To be given the opportunity to showcase this collection to the people of Scotland and exhibit alongside Ansel Adams, a recognised master of photography, is a huge honour. I have always had a passion for the Scottish landscape and I hope people will enjoy my images just as much as those of the master who inspires so many through his."

Newton will be holding private viewings of the exhibition for its clients on 21 and 22 February.
