A group exhibition at Geer Pouls' gallery in 1986 1.

I found a review by Lia Roose of a group exhibition featuring Marlies and four other ceramists at Geer Pouls' gallery in 1986. The other artists were Rob Brandt, Johanna Schweizer, Sjoera Siebers, and Annerie Teuling. 

Although it is only a short review, it is an important one because we now know that Marlies originally displayed the works from our box on a wall. 

Marlies van Wijk filled an entire wall with what she calls ‘designs for large vases’. These are rather crudely molded bowls and vases in soft colors, dollhouse-sized.  They are amusing and, from an economic point of view, a great find, but rather difficult to take seriously as designs because of the rough execution.
