      ‘Through her training as a potter in Vienna to her exile in London, and to her creation of a style of making that had no counterpoint in the earthy functionalism of British pottery, she projected a force-field of separation from the expectations of those around her’

Personal gift from Lucy Rie to Peter Dingley (Peter Dingley Gallery)
