Our summer schedule at Goldmark is so busy this year we’ve had more shows than room in our latest magazine. June saw the opening of our extraordinary exhibition of assemblages by artist Richard James. July will feature not one but two blockbuster shows: new pots by Ken Matsuzaki and a career retrospective of abstract veteran Graham Boyd. And come September, we have our first solo exhibition of pots by Japanese Bizen potter, Koichiro Isezaki, and a return of gallery favourite, the inimitable Oliver Bancroft. Do contact us for details, and in the meantime enjoy some seasonal colour in our Summer Issue.
