our own company culture, we value innovation and creativity and
have a history of support for the arts and culture. Sponsoring the
voyage of these masterpieces from their home at the Cleveland
Museum of Art to audiences in China offers a great connection
between two parts of the world where Timken is applying our
technical knowledge creatively to improve customer performance,"
said Roger Lindsay, senior vice president of Timken's Asia Pacific
operations. Jiang Qiong Er, a native of Shanghai who is already
gaining international recognition for her contemporary artwork,
shows her creativity and talent in a wide range of media including
painting, sculpture and photography. She debuted in the art arena
with her "industrial romance" jewelry collection, which
incorporates industrial parts in her designs. The four pieces of
Timken-commissioned artwork under creation by Jiang Qiong Er will
be displayed in the company's Asia Pacific headquarters in Shanghai
and its global headquarters in Ohio. Timken will donate two of the
finished pieces in 2007. "Now, through Jiang Qiong Er's work and
her fusion of art and engineered products, we are delighted also to
have the chance to introduce a contemporary Chinese artist to
audiences in the United States," said Lindsay. From Monet to
Picasso: Masterworks from The Cleveland Museum of Art, which
continues to run in Beijing through August 27, 2006, is one of six
such traveling exhibitions from The Cleveland Museum of Art
scheduled for presentation at more than a dozen venues over the
next four years. The Beijing first leg of the world tour of the
masterworks, sponsored by Timken, is currently on display at the
Beijing World Art Museum. The traveling exhibition From Monet to
Picasso marks a milestone in the Cleveland Museum of Art's 90-year
history, as it is the first time that such a preponderance of
masterworks from its permanent collection will be on view outside
of Cleveland. The exhibition brings together 60 of The Cleveland
Museum's most highly acclaimed European paintings and sculptures
from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, featuring iconic works
by Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne,
Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Camille Pissarro, Pierre Bonnard,
Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and Auguste Rodin. After traveling to
the Beijing World Art Museum, From Monet to Picasso: Masterworks
from The Cleveland Museum of Art will open in Tokyo and Seoul. This
