Sale Announcement - Contemporary Ceramics 10-23 June 2010 at Auction Atrium

The forthcoming sale of Contemporary Ceramics at Auction Atrium goes on view on the 10th June.

Another wide ranging sale of nearly 150 lots will offer works by the leading names of the studio ceramic movement. Included is a group of works directly from the collection of Michael Cardew, including an early slipware charger by Edwin Beer Fishley, purchased by Michael Cardew’s father in around 1900, whose work was highly influential in inspiring the young Cardew’s interest in English slipware. Good examples by Bernard Leach, David Leach and Janet Leach are followed by later ‘traditional’ potters including Jim Malone and Richard Batterham. Fine examples by Lucie Rie and Hans Coper should attract strong interest and a wide variety of post war and contemporary ceramicists featured in the sale include Elizabeth Fritsch, Alison Britton and Jacqueline Poncelet, Ruth Duckworth, Ewen Henderson and Sara Radstone. Some exceptional works by John Maltby should also attract serious interest.

All lots will be on view at the Auction Atrium gallery and online from Thursday 10 June through to Wednesday 23 June with late night view and a reception on Tuesday 22 June.
