Studio Ceramics including the Mike Pohl Collection of Keith Murray

Art+Object announces a sale of studio pottery and ceramics and now invites further entries. The catalogue will be 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, immediately captivated by the simple architectural forms pared with matt glazes. He increased the collection gradually over the following 36 years, purchasing pieces from decorative arts specialists Art and Industry, as well as from Gary Langsford. Much of the collection was exhibited at the Napier Art Deco festival in the late 1980s.
