More ceramics at the Stratford Gallery.
Pierre Williams. I have seen Williams' work before. I used to think they weren't my cup of tea, but I am not so sure now.

From the prices that are able to be seen in your photographs these works all seem to be very underpriced. Assuming the gallery takes 40 to 50%, as most do, these ceramicists are working for less than the minimum wage.
ReplyDeleteThe prices in the gallery are similar to any other gallery I have been to, Avril. I did think however that some of Pierre Williams' prices were low (not all, Seated Male Nude on the Ninth is £650 which I thought was quite a lot) and I thought that this might have something to do with the process of making them: can one pour liquid clay in a mould, for instance? So, it must be that this is what Williams is asking for. The rest of the ceramics' prices are spot on with any other gallery I have visited.
