The Leach Pottery: 100 Years On From St Ives

Olding, Simon (2020) The Leach Pottery: 100 Years On From St Ives. [Exhibition/show]

Creators:
Olding, Simon
Description/Abstract:

This CSC exhibition focuses on a number of themes, including: works in the Leach Pottery Permanent Collection, subsequently donated to the CSC; works from Leach’s Source collection; and new acquisitions of ceramics by Bernard and Janet Leach.

The exhibition deliberately focuses on archival and object collections that Olding has been personally associated with as curator and protagonist, ensuring their gifts into the CSC and raising funds when required for purchase. He has used his expert network of Leach scholars to support research on key objects appearing in the sale room, so that very substantial new Leach collections and archives have travelled from private to public hands during his directorship; at a time when these materials are highly sought after in the secondary market.
