I’m an enormous fan of 20thC studio ceramics – and not just those produced in Britain. Studio potters in Germany and the Netherlands also produced some ground-breaking, important and strongly appealing work too. With this in mind, I was excited to read an email from Marcel Brouwer today. Marcel, who ran the Design department at Christie’s in Amsterdam for a decade, is now associated with an innovative new auction house called Gavelers. His first auction is of a large and important private collection of European studio pottery – you can view it by clicking here.
Potters whose works are up for auction include world-renowned names such as Bernard, Janet and David Leach, Alison Britton, Karl & Ursula Scheid, Nicholas Homoky, Wouter Dam, Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie, Richard Batterham, Beate Kuhn, and Richard Bampi. Estimates range from around €150-2,000, and the auction itself takes place in Rotterdam on 22nd June.
