A forthcoming exhibition, entitled Terra Incognita – Italy's Ceramic Revival, will highlight 20th-century Italian ceramics from the Bernd and Eva Hockemeyer Collection, one of the world's finest collections of modern Italian ceramic art.
The exhibition, at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, will feature a number of items from the Hockemeyer collection, most of which have not been shown in Britain before.
The display will highlight the different styles of ceramic art that emerged in Italy during the 20th Century. Items by some of Italy's most important 20th-century sculptors, including Leoncillo Leonardi, Marino Marini, Arturo Martini, Pietro Melandri, Lucio Fontana and Fausto Melotti will be featured.
Highlights of the exhibition will include San Sebastiano Bianco (White Saint Sebastian, 1962) by Leoncillo Leonardi (1915-1968) and Medusa (1936) by Lucio Fontana (1899-1968).
The exhibition will be open from 30th September to 20th December 2009 and further information can be obtained from the Estorick Collection.
