- Description
- We are thrilled to present Sydney Denton's incredible collection of British and international ceramics this summer during our June Modern Contemporary Art marquee week in London. One of the finest collections of studio and contemporary ceramics to remain in private hands, Sydney Denton amassed his collection across a lifetime of dedication to the craft of ceramics, particularly supporting living artists. The sale will be presented in two parts: the first a live sale for the highlights of the collection on 26 June, followed by a second online sale encompassing the remaining 200 works on 27 June. The online sale, with a particular focus on the legacy of The Leach Pottery in St Ives, includes works by Janet Leach, Emmanuel Cooper, Richard Batterham, Alan Caiger-Smith, Clive Bowen, Rupert Spira, John Maltby, and many more.Illustrated:Richard Batterham, Monumental 'Charger' PlateCalendar:Bernard Leach, A Magnificent Pilgrim DishFor assistance with bidding and registration, please contact:Bids.london@sothebys.com+44 (0) 207 293 5283For sale enquiries please contact:Julia FischelHead of Modern Art Day SalesJulia.Fischel@sothebys.comT: +44 (0)207 293 5051M: +44 (0) 784 351 3105Jen HardieDirector and Senior SpecialistModern British Irish ArtJen.Hardie@sothebys.comT: +44 (0) 207 293 6498Tamsin Golding YeeDeputy Director and SpecialistModern British Irish ArtTamsin.GoldingYee@sothebys.comT: +44 (0) 207 293 6005M: +44 (0) 792 106 4968
