Colin and Cecily Rigg Craft Award 1994
Date
1994
Place
National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Vic.
Description

The Colin & Cecily Rigg Craft Award 1994
National Gallery of Victoria.
Winner – Neville Assad-Salha $30,000

“... It is dedicated to ceramics and the works of 25 Victorian potters who show up to five pieces. As many are of monumental proportions, the exhibition is big and crowded. [...] this major, though not exhaustive, statement (exhibition) provides viewers with a vibrant overview of the current vigour and originality of contemporary ceramics.”
