New Collectors Art, Studio Ceramics & Applied Arts

6:00PM 3 Abbey Street, Newton, Auckland

Art+Object is delighted to present the catalogue for New Collectors Art, Studio Ceramics & Applied Art.

The Studio Ceramics catalogue is headlined by local collector Michael Pohl’s collection of Keith Murray studio ceramics and glass. Pohl was born just three miles from the Wedgwood factory in North Staffordshire and first began collecting in the mid 1980s, having been captivated by the simple architectural forms of the ceramics paired with matt glazes. He increased the collection gradually over the following 36 years, purchasing pieces from decorative arts specialists including Art and Industry and dealer Gary Langsford. Much of the collection was exhibited at the Napier Art Deco festival in the late 1980s.
