This review is from: The Genius of Wedgwood (Paperback)
In 1995, the Victoria & Albert put on an exhibition of Wedgwood to mark the 200th anniversary of the death of the founder, Josiah Wedgwood. I was fortunate to be in London on business and took in this amazing display of pottery. This book is a companion to that show and has several fine articles on the major pieces and the development of Wedgwood as a commercial enterprise and an art form.
The book also has the catalogues of the various displays and so provides much helpful information on major Wedgwood pieces for those who follow this kind of thing. I should also say that the V & A has an outstanding display of Wedgwood available every day. So, the next time you get to London you should head to the museum and take it in along with all the other wonderful pieces they have in their many halls. The book has many color photos and many more in black and white. I think it still has value for Wedgwood enthusiasts and the curious as a general book rather than being an obsolete exhibition program. |
