Included in this ever-changing exhibition will be most of the items that can be found on the "Artists" section of this web site. However, if you plan to come along to look at something specific it would be useful to contact me beforehand to check that it is still available.

Besides the above there will be a number of special features as described below.

The £5 BOX will contain items that are generally by known potters at £5 each. My aim will be to keep this going for as long as possible.

There will also be miscellaneous items of pottery available by important artists from the past and present. On 28th November this will include work by Paul Barron (1917 - 1983), Percy Brown (1911 - 1996). Mick Casson (all sold), Joanna Constantinidis (1927 - 2000), Waistel Cooper, Edmund de Waal (all sold), Gwyn Hanssen Pigott (all sold), David Lloyd Jones (1928 - 1994), Aki Moriuchi, Margaret Rey, Antonia Salmon, Rupert Spira, James Walford (1913 - 2001), Eleanor Whittall (1900 - c1970) and Takeshi Yasuda. I shall try and keep this list up to date during the exhibition by adding and removing names as necessary. If you require details of any work then please contact me.

Finally as far as pottery is concerned there will be special showcases of work by 5 potters. The artists involved are Jack Kenny and John Mackenzie, who are featured on the "Artists" pages of this web site, and Ros Ingram, Michael Posner and Yo Thom. Details of the last three can be found at the bottom of this page.

I have been fortunate to obtain a number of original prints by world famous artists especially for this exhibition. These are mounted but unframed and prices range from £35 to £300. Artists included are

Bernard Buffet, Marc Chagall, Sonia Delaunay (all sold), Alain Derain, Raoul Dufy, Alberto Giacometti (all sold), Wassili Kandinsky(all sold), Max Liebermann, Alfred Manessier, William Nicholson and John Piper (all sold). Again supplies are limited and details available, if required.

Paintings by Harlequin Gallery Artists (see "Artists" section) will also be on show.

Unlike virtually everything else that I exhibit, the work to my mind shows up much of the over-hyped "tosh", lauded by pretentious galleries and ceramic commentators in glossy magazines, as being tedious and third-rate. (I appear to have had a Brian Sewell moment!)

MICHAEL POSNER

Michael has been potting full-time for eight years, after retiring from a career in the food industry (I escaped from there too!). His serious pottery training took place at the City Lit. under the guidance of Dan Kelly, which he supplemented by attending workshops with Phil Rogers and David Leach. Besides this he has travelled widely in Japan and spent a month there working with a potter in Mie Province. Although Michael throws on the wheel, the work that I have chosen for this showcase comprises of slab-built bottles and dishes.
