Barbara Nanning Eternal Movement

"This year marks the fortieth anniversary of Barbara Nanning's graduation in ceramics from the Gerrit Riteveld Academie in Amsterdam (The Netherlands). Over those forty years, Nanning (b. 1957) has become an internationally respected artist with work in countless public and private collections in the Netherlands and around the world.
