Siemssen presents a selection of works from his important ceramic collection against a backdrop of decades of experience and encounters with the most important contemporary ceramicists. Arranged geographically, the book presents Japanese, German, Scandinavian, Western European, North American and Mediterranean ceramics in a broad range of significant works. The high point is the work of Gilbert Portanier, with whom Peter Siemssen has had particularly close artistic contacts and ties of friendship.  Documentary photographs faithfully reproducing the works lead into interpretative texts, artist biographies and Peter Siemssen&#8217;s entertaining reminiscences to provide access to art ceramics in the latter half of the 20th century. Distinguished specialists in the field contribute essays on various aspects of the subject. \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>A selection of the artists include; Gilbert Portanier (France), Karin Bablok (Germany), Hans-Theo Baumann (Germany), Antje Br&uuml;ggemann-Breckwoldt (Germany), Nino Caruso (Italy), Antoni Cumella (Spain), Elisabeth Fritsch (England), Dorothy Hafner (USA), Shoji Hamada (Japan), Bernhard Leach (England), Stig Lindberg (Sweden), Sonngard Marcks (Germany), Ren&eacute;e Reichenbach (Germany), Lucie Rie (England), Ursula and Karl Scheid (Germany), Tatsuzo Shimaoka (Japan), and Bj&ouml;rn Wiinblad (Denmark).<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arranged geographically, this book presents Japanese, German, Scandinavian, Western European, North American and Mediterranean ceramics in a range of significant works.
