I am delighted to be a founding Patron of the new Lucie Rie and Hans Coper Foundation The Lucie Rie and Hans Coper Foundation
Through a publicly accessible digital archive and grants supporting research, exhibitions and publications, the Foundation will preserve their legacies and bring a deeper understanding of their work to future generations, and I am thrilled to support it.
Thank you Offer Waterman for hosting us last week for the launch, and your Rie Coper show is a must see.
Distinct in their approach, yet connected through years of friendship and shared practice, Rie and Coper are two of the most important figures in post-war studio pottery. They transformed modern ceramics. I am a fan and collector!
