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. POTTERY 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 PAINTINGS

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

show. POTTERS

ROS INGRAM Ros has
previously shown her "mutated" ceramic fish at the Harlequin
Gallery on several occasions. I first saw her work when she was still a
student back in 1998 and was immediately impressed by the originality and fun
that her work conveys. I was not alone in this, as she won the "Best
Student" award at the National Ceramic Festival that summer, voted for
by professional potters and fellow students. Amazingly, she was still in her
second year of studies but gained her degree and was awarded the Craftline
Prize for "excellence in ceramics" the following year. 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 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 For more information and to see Michael's
