Graziella Semerciyan – Robert Auguste and Gyn Gausserand: Pots
Gyn Gausserand and Robert Auguste met in 1948 at the Fontcarrade pottery school in Montpellier. They shared the same studio throughout their lives; first in Vallauris with the whole gang (Capron, Derval, Kostanda, Picasso of course, Picault, RamiĂ©, etc.), then in Millau, and finally in Pouzilhac where they settled in a studio house to work more and better - to create their world. This book is an opportunity to shed light on a pottery workshop that was active for nearly seventy years, from the early 1950s until 2017, by highlighting its technical, ideological and cultural aspects.Â
This publication includes excerpts from interviews, selections from photographic and written archives (letters, drawings, poems, chemical formulas, accounting records), and contemporary in situ photographs taken by the artist-filmmaker Ben Russell of the pieces remaining in what was Robert and Gyn's last pottery workshop. This monograph is co-published by IRIS Ă©ditions and Dent-de-Leone.
