DISPLAYS: Simon Carroll: Expressionist Potter

DISPLAY: An unconventional and adventurous artist, Simon Carroll produced some of the most singular and extraordinary ceramics of recent years. Characterised by extremes in the handling of clay and by bold and vigorous mark-making, his pottery has an affinity with abstract expressionism. The first retrospective of Carroll’s work, the display provides a celebration of the artist’s life and creativity following his untimely death in 2009 at the age of 45. Displays complement our permanent collections, there are many free temporary displays around the V&A. They range in size from a single case to a room. Supported by Gerard and Sarah Griffin Ceramics, Room 146
