Lucie Rie and Hans Coper have been widely acknowledged as the leading figures of the international ‘studio pottery’ movement. This book includes the pre-eminent collection of their work, while also containing important examples of the works of some twenty other potters - including Shoji Hamada, Bernard Leach, Janet Leach, Maria Martinez, Ewen Henderson, Ian Godfrey and James Tower - as well as a group of younger artists whose inclusion is testimony to Lisa Sainsbury’s unstinting search for promising young talent in the field.
All the works in the collection - some 200 - have been specially photographed for this publication, which is a clear demonstration of the remarkable vigour of the studio pottery tradition in the second half of the twentieth century.
