Circle of Magdalene Odundo (b. 1950)  A burnished and carbonised terracotta bowl  To be sold without reserve

Ladi Kwali (Nigerian, circa 1925-1984)Water Vessel stamped 'Abuja' in Arabic/ 'LK' (to the base)glazed stoneware 20 x 20.5 x 20.5cm (7 7/8 x 8 1/16 x 8 1/16in).Footnotes:Joining the training centre in 1954, Ladi Kwali was already an established potter with the Emir of Abuja already holding a collection of her works. Her fame grew internationally, and Kwali joined Michael Cardew on his European (1962-63) and American (1972) demonstrative and educational tours. The result of her efforts and exposure would lead to her MBE that was awarded to her in 1962. In 1970, she was further awarded an honorary doctorate from Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. Ladi Kwali's image is also used on the 20 Naira Nigerian bank note and a major street in Abuja has been named Ladi Kwali Road, emphasising her importance to the country also evident in her receiving the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) in 1981. Through these acknowledgments and artistic exposure and with a new found global respect for her practice, Kwali would influence a number of the next generation of potters and artists such as Magdalene Odundo.Born in the ancient potting region of Gwari, Ladi Kwali was trained in the traditional methods of production, building up her vessels in coils before firing them in the open air in a bonfire of dry vegetation. She achieved international recognition in 1954 after she was invited to join the famous British ceramicist, Michael Cardew, when he opened a studio in northern Nigeria. However, even with the introduction of equipment designed to make the production of pottery easier by Cardew, Kwali was known for remaining true to her traditional Gwari practise. True still was her commitment to her zoomorphic and geometrical that she would adorn her vessels (such as the present lot) with. Susan Vogel noted on her patriotist practise, 'over her whole working life she made just one change – the switch from earthenware to stoneware' this change was only due to the conditions and material available to the pottery. (Susan Vogel, Ladi Kwali, Michael Cardew and a Tangled Story of African Studio Pottery, ed, Kerstin Pinther, Alexandra Weigand, Flow of forms/Forms of flow, Design Histories between Africa and Europe, (Germany: Transcript publishing, 2018), p, 108).The present work is a beautiful example of the potter's iconic process. Hand coiled, it stands at half of the size of a traditional functional water vessel. On a Body 44 clay, which can be seen through the incised lines as lighter celadon green in comparison to the darker glaze possibly clear AA glaze aver a thin black slip, this work has been fired on a high heat to keep a shine to the surface of the work. Classically Kwali, the zoomorphic imagery is incised into the work in a geometric longitudinal fashion to contrast the wide bulbous drum of the vessel. Kwali's skill and talent is evident throughout the creative process of this vessel and it acts as a wonderful example of what has made Ladi Kwali a key figure in the pottery field and a national treasure to Nigeria.BibliographyJohn Edgeler, Michael Cardew and stoneware, continuity and change, (Winchcombe: Cotswolds living Publications, 2008)For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Note: BARBARA LING & THE CANDOVER GALLERY “ Barbara’s stewardship of the Candover Gallery in New Alresford over many years made it a widely recognised and respected centre for studio ceramics and glass, driven by her unwavering commitment to excellence in design and technique; the same qualities manifested by her private collection ” Martin Pearce, 2019 Barbara Ling, owner of The Candover Gallery, is considered a significant figure and gallerist in the contemporary ceramics scene throughout the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. The Candover Gallery operated from 1984 to 2007 to much acclaim, showing work by many of the leading names in the field before they rose to wider prominence. The gallery regularly featured noteworthy work from the likes of Jennifer Lee, Magdalene Odundo, Sutton Taylor, Abdo Nagi, John Maltby, Walter Keeler, Lucie Rie, David Roberts, Duncan Ross, Gordon Cooke, Peter Hayes, Michael Casson and David Leach. As such she can be considered one of a small group of ground-breaking British gallerists that supported contemporary ceramics throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She was a potter herself and unusually did not obtain stock for her gallery on sale or return, but always insisted on choosing and paying for the work herself. Her eye for quality and detail ensured she made a profit from her very first exhibition. For the ceramicist Peter Lane, after a hiatus of three years and having sold and given away his kilns, glazes and materials, it was a chance meeting with Barbara that led him to change his mind and begin making pots again for a solo exhibition at the Candover Gallery in 1991, and when Barbara retired and closed the gallery in 2007, Walter Keeler made her a special commemorative mug celebrating Barbara Ling and the Candover Gallery and twenty-three Glorious Years! This carefully curated selection from her estate charts the thriving nature of British studio ceramics of this period, and Barbara’s significance in promoting and sustaining a number of artists, and thereby the whole British ceramic movement, during these critical years.Condition report: The ceramic appears sound.

Note: BARBARA LING & THE CANDOVER GALLERY “ Barbara’s stewardship of the Candover Gallery in New Alresford over many years made it a widely recognised and respected centre for studio ceramics and glass, driven by her unwavering commitment to excellence in design and technique; the same qualities manifested by her private collection ” Martin Pearce, 2019 Barbara Ling, owner of The Candover Gallery, is considered a significant figure and gallerist in the contemporary ceramics scene throughout the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. The Candover Gallery operated from 1984 to 2007 to much acclaim, showing work by many of the leading names in the field before they rose to wider prominence. The gallery regularly featured noteworthy work from the likes of Jennifer Lee, Magdalene Odundo, Sutton Taylor, Abdo Nagi, John Maltby, Walter Keeler, Lucie Rie, David Roberts, Duncan Ross, Gordon Cooke, Peter Hayes, Michael Casson and David Leach. As such she can be considered one of a small group of ground-breaking British gallerists that supported contemporary ceramics throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. She was a potter herself and unusually did not obtain stock for her gallery on sale or return, but always insisted on choosing and paying for the work herself. Her eye for quality and detail ensured she made a profit from her very first exhibition. For the ceramicist Peter Lane, after a hiatus of three years and having sold and given away his kilns, glazes and materials, it was a chance meeting with Barbara that led him to change his mind and begin making pots again for a solo exhibition at the Candover Gallery in 1991, and when Barbara retired and closed the gallery in 2007, Walter Keeler made her a special commemorative mug celebrating Barbara Ling and the Candover Gallery and twenty-three Glorious Years! This carefully curated selection from her estate charts the thriving nature of British studio ceramics of this period, and Barbara’s significance in promoting and sustaining a number of artists, and thereby the whole British ceramic movement, during these critical years.Condition report: The ceramic appears sound.
