Hans Coper

A completely new edition of this comprehensive biography of the artist whose work has been described as ‘refined by the intellect, which ensured a careful harmonic purity from the constant re-working of the relationship between forms’. First published in 1983, the book was revised in 1991 and has been reprinted twice more, with minor revisions, since then. It is a companion book to Tony Birks’ classic biography of Lucie Rie. Hans Coper’s distinctive pots are in all important museum collections of 20th century studio pottery worldwide and still retain their impact. Beautifully illustrated throughout with portrait photographs of the artist at work and stunning images of the finished pieces.
