ALISON BRITTON (born 1948); a square earthenware box (minus its cover) decorated with pigs, made circa 1972, height 9cm. (D) PR – I got this pot (which I call ‘Topless Pigs’) from someone who studied at the RCA at the same time as Alison Britton. I showed it to Alison who was greatly embarrassed by it and asked me to destroy it. In my opinion, Alison is one of the most important potters of the last quarter of the 20th century – and while this is certainly very far from a masterpiece, it is an interesting documentary work which, I think, should be preserved. Would you destroy a student drawing by David Hockney?
