Face to Face: Dame Rosalind Savill in conversation with Brian Haughton

Brian Haughton was already a successful dealer when in 1982 he launched the International Ceramics Fair and Seminar, and today we celebrate his achievement over forty years. He would transform the world of the ceramics dealer, collector, curator and scholar by bringing together in one place each June a new, radical and magical combination of some of the best dealers in the world, strict vetting procedures, academic lectures given by an international range of experts, and a sense of glamour, fun and camaraderie. This conversation will explore how Brian developed such a special vision, how he and his wife, Anna, delivered it year after year, what impact it has had on the decorative arts in recent generations, and how they organised annually four international Art & Antique Fairs in New York, one in Dubai & Art Antiques London.
