The Ceramic Art of James Tower

James Tower (1919 - 1988) is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive figures in post-war British ceramics. This is the first single publication to be devoted to his work and will reveal to a new audience the extraordinary range and quality of his achievement. Tower's career was unusual in inhabiting the worlds of fine art and ceramics, and his output encompassed sculptural pieces in plaster and bronze as well as glazed ceramic forms. This book provides a comprehensive visual document of Tower's work, incorporating a complete illustrated catalogue, and is set to be the standard source of reference on the artist.
