EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the introspective gaze of Dame Lucie Rie (1902-1995), an Austrian-born British studio potter, as she contemplates her intricately crafted ceramic piece in her studio, dated 1986. With a career spanning over six decades, Rie is renowned for her exceptional skill and artistry in the world of ceramics. Her unique approach to pottery, characterized by its organic forms and rich, earthy glazes, has earned her a place in the annals of art history. Born in Vienna, Rie studied under the renowned Austrian artist Oskar Schlemmer before moving to England in 1938 to escape the rising anti-Semitism in Europe. She settled in London and established her studio, where she began creating her distinctive ceramics. Her work gained recognition in the 1950s and 1960s, and she was awarded the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1965 and later elevated to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 1986. This photograph encapsulates the essence of Rie's artistic journey, revealing the deep concentration and dedication she brought to her craft. The image serves as a testament to her enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in the world of ceramics, inspiring generations of artists and collectors alike.
