About the Item

Robert Fournier (1915-2008), stoneware, tall flattened, bottle, circa 1960-1965 - This bottle is from the same series as No.2008.658.18 in the Metropolitan Museum New York - This elegant bottle is characteristic of Robert Fournier’s signature pieces, using inventive glazes to create the colors and textures of natural forms - The main body has a crusty, saturated glaze rich in earth tones and the thick textured white glaze overflows from the lip of the bottle like molten, volcanic ash volcano cascading down a slope. - The base is impressed with his mark ‘RF’. - In 1948 Fournier established the pottery department at Goldsmiths' College, London and became part of a group of avant-garde potters who opened up new aesthetic and technical possibilities in ceramics which included Bernard Rooke and Alan Wallwork who were students and lecturers at the college. - This piece comes from a private collection along with a waterscape vase by Rooke and a landscape vessel by Wallwork that were acquired directly from the artist. Diameter 30cm., 12 inches., height 43cm.m, 17inches.

  • 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...

  • L'inspiré Self Portrait Marc Chagall Valentina Vava Lithograph 1963 Mourlot 398
    By Marc Chagall
    Located in Eversholt, Bedfordshire
    Inspiration or L'inspiré - The artist and his wife, self-portrait. This is a self-portrait of the great artist, depicting him as lost in thought before one of his paintings, which is apparently related to his home country Russia, as suggested by the small figure in the lower right of the work. Chagall’s wife Valentina (“Vava”), who was also from Russia, is looking over his shoulder, full of longing. The small surreal elements that are characteristic of Chagall’s paintings are also present here: the silhouettes of the houses that seems to stick out of the painting and a figure with a flute or trombone standing on its head. Chagall Lithographe, Volume II of the catalogue raisonné of Chagall's lithographic work, see Mourlot 398, 1957-1962, Paris 1963, imprinted by Imprimerie Mourlot for the publisher André Sauret.
