Elizabeth Fritsch b. 1940, Wales
-
Overview
“The spaces between pots assembled in groups is, to me, more lovely and musical than any of the spatial relationships which may be incorporated into an individual piece. These groups are, I suppose, like movements in classical music – in which the arrangement adds up, hopefully, to more than the sum of its parts … enabling a dance and play in space.”
Museums and collectors across the world have been admirers of Elizabeth Fritsch’s work for decades. Her hand-built fore-shortened forms combined with rhythmic patterns are signatures that are widely-recognised and inspired by her training as a classical musician before turning to ceramics. Works are often grouped together and juxtaposed so that the rear or side of a vase balances or provides a counterpoint to a neighbour. Having graduated from the Royal College of Art, London in 1971, Elizabeth is regarded as one of the UK’s leading ceramic artists. -
