Summary: | This is the first major publication devoted to the work of the outstanding group of studio potters in the second half of the 20th century. The collection recorded is the preeminent, representative collection of the work of Lucie Rie (1902-95) and Hans Coper (1920-81), while also including important examples of the works of some 20 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 untiring search for promising young talent in this field.
