Cabinet of Morbid Curiosities
The singular focus of Richard Harris's collection was the macabre. This October, Potter & Potter will bring to market a range of rarities from his art collection, a singular gathering of works (textiles, paintings, sculptures, posters, drawings) that, while broad in form, were focused on a topic no one has yet been able to escape.Bidder Reviews for Potter & Potter Auctions (510)
