A magnificent catalogue of the V&A's collection of
twentieth-century and contemporary British ceramics. Contemporary
ceramicists working in Britain, including Rachel Kneebone, Grayson
Perry and Edmund de Waal, are part of a broader international group
of artists experimenting with clay, considering how it intersects
and works in dialogue with other artforms and culture at large.
Recent experimentation with the medium owes much to the rapid
evolution of ceramics into an expanded field, and to the work of
mid to late twentieth-century potters and their liberation from the
legacy of groups such as the Arts and Crafts movement. The
experimental techniques and rethinking of form in the work of
exponents such as Lucie Rie, Bernard Leach, and Hans Coper - whose
reference points were drawn from Asia, Africa, India and the Middle
East as much as from their own heritage - continue to influence and
inspire contemporary makers. In his introductory essay, Alun
Graves, Senior Curator of Ceramics at the Victoria and Albert
Museum, London, provides all lovers of ceramics - collectors,
practitioners, historians and those interested in modern and
contemporary art and crafts - with the historical context,
documenting this shift in the medium into an expressive, and
sometimes interventionist, art form.
