The combination of dry and glazed finishes in natural tones of white, browns and blues are evocative of the colors and natural elements surrounding water. - Rook’s works is held in international public and private collections including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Cleveland Museum of Art, Nuffield Foundation, Paisley Museum & Art Galleries, Leicester Museum, Buckinghamshire County Museum, Röhsska Museum in Sweden and the Trondheim Kunstmuseum in Norway. - This piece was made during 1960-1965, the time that Rooke was sharing a studio in Greenwich with Alan Wallwork and comes from a private collection along with a landscape vessel by Wallwork and a bottle by Robert Fournier that were acquired directly from the artists.

  • Alan Wallwork Vessel Vase Pottery Sculpture TOTEM White Brown Terracotta
    Located in Eversholt, Bedfordshire
    Alan Wallwork (1931-2019): Organic landscape sculptural vessel, 1960-1965 -Exhibiting the articulated, inventive, organic qualities & tactility of Wallwork’s early oeuvre for which he is best known - This sculptural landscape vessel has been handmade by coiling, slabbing and shaping the clay. The totemic form and pitted and pierced surfaces draw on the abstract landscape and tactility of elements in nature. matte glazes and oxides have been skillfully used to enhance the rich textures of the surfaces and the organic aesthetic. - Wallwork is one of the great individualists in British pottery, developing an archetypal language that echoed some of the wider artistic obsessions of that period, what the art critic Herbert Read called the “postwar ferment” of sculptural activity. - This piece was made during 1960-1965, the time that Wallwork was sharing a studio in Greenwich with Bernard Rooke and comes from a private collection along with a waterscape vase by Rooke and a bottle by Robert Fournier...
