The present work represents the first comprehensive survey of Lotte Reimers' lifelong commitment to ceramics and her career as a ceramist. Her dedication to ceramics as director of the Deidesheim ceramics museum and gallery has been paralleled by her rise to pre-eminence among German ceramists.
More than 250 illustrations document Lotte Reimers' work. The enormous variety of forms and glazes is staggering. The artist builds and shapes all her pieces by hand, decorating them with glazes which she prepares herself from pulverised stone, ores and ash. The present book is the first comprehensive survey of this important art ceramist's impressive oeuvre.
