Biography
Anatol Orient, moved to London from Chicago in 1971. He established a ceramic artists' gallery in Covent Garden and in 1986 he moved it to Portobello Road, Notting Hill. At the time Orient said: "People come in and say, 'What's that? How can it be pottery if it has holes in it and won't hold water?' One of the responsibilities of a gallery is showing work and that means educating the public as well as exhibiting to its more knowledgeable members. For my 15 artists, it's exciting to be seen by a diverse audience."
