The Great Wave
Beate Kuhn
On an international level, until the late 1960s, German ceramics went widely unacknowledged. Indeed, it was a 1968 exhibition at London’s Primavera Gallery which changed the game for German pottery. Featuring works by Beate Kuhn, Ursula and Karl Scheid, Gotlind and Gerald Weigel, and Margarete Schott the show was met with great acclaim and following its success the unassuming troupe of post-war German ceramists featured in it were christened The London Group.
