GOLDEN POTS / GOLDENE TOPFE. Thurnau Earthenware from the Lotte Reimers-Stiftung at the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts Leipzig
, Arnoldsche, 2015 128 pages, 21.5 x 28.7 cm, 158 illustrations in colour and 14 in b/w. Hardback. English and German. ISBN 9783897904323.
The unique nature of the golden pots lies in the proportion of the form, the vividly iridescent glaze and the sensual allure of the material. With this publication, Lotte Reimers not only continues her diverse work for ceramics but also preserves them as an important cultural artefact which has found a new home in the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts Leipzig. Without adornment or applications, plates, bowls, jugs and pots radiate through honey-yellow, green or dark brown glazes. These glazes have a lively iridescence which accentuates the objects? most important attribute: their form. Everyday objects that obtain artistic merit through reduction alone boast an extraordinary assuredness in their design. With this, the bodies of the vessels in the interplay with handles, spouts, knops and covers as well as the glaze become a compelling unity. That good everyday ceramic occupies a justified and valued place alongside artistic ceramic is advocated with conviction by Lotte Reimers. As a longstanding companion and associate of the ceramic exponent Jakob Wilhelm Hinder, she discovered her passion too for the ?beauty of simple things?, which she acquired in selected examples to preserve as an important cultural asset for the future. One hundred and twenty-four earthenware vessels, which originated in the Renner Pottery in Thurnau in the 1950s and 1960s, form a representative inventory of ?golden pots? whose beauty still enthrals to this day. Now the collection is housed in the GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts Leipzig.

The grande dame of the Western European ceramics, Lotte Reimers (*1932), is an outstanding artist and at the same time a great collector. For more than twenty years she has been closely associated with the wide range of historical ceramic collections at Friedenstein Palace, Gotha. Lotte Reimers donated a collection of international ceramics to the Gotha Foundation from the excellent collections of her own museum in Deidesheim, Rhineland-Palatinate. This generous and magnificent donation of more than 300 contemporary ceramics by a total of 115 artists from all over the world is now being shown for the first time in Gotha. This special show is present in the entire palace building and corresponds with the historical Gotha collections.
