Join us at the gallery as Mike Goldmark reminisces about his relationship with Phil Rogers and his continuing influence.
The Unseen Works of Phil Rogers will be available to view online and at Goldmark Gallery, Uppingham from 27 July 2024. Phil Rogers was, without doubt, one of the giants of British ceramics. When he died in December 2020 he bequeathed a wealth of memories, work in the collections of over 50 museums around the globe and the legacy of having mentored some of the outstanding new potters in the world - perhaps most notably the great young Danish Potter Anne Mette Hjørtshoj.
He also left behind, in his studio, a treasure trove of his creations which have never been seen in public. We're delighted to stage an exhibition of this ‘new’ work from 27 July 2024 which will fill our first floor gallery space. The exhibition will consist of 200 previously unseen Rogers’ pots alongside works that gallery founder Mike Goldmark and the gallery have themselves collected since Phil Rogers became the first potter to show at Goldmark over 25 years ago.
The opening featured a light lunch with wine and soft drinks followed by a tribute by Mike Goldmark. The Unseen Works of Phil Rogers will run at Goldmark Gallery, Uppingham throughout August and admission is free.
