Note: Frosts bold and innovative work is in many permanent museum collections, including the Tate gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa and the tel Aviv Museum in Israel. His list of exhibitions is long and distinguished, with one man shows in a number of leading galleries including the Serpentine, the Mayor Gallery and Austen Desmond Fine Art. Trewellard Red was inspired by the colours of the sunset as seen from Trewellard on the north coast of Cornwall near Lands End. Using this idea Terry decided to paint this special platter to celebrate his 80th birthday in 1995. It was made in a limited edition of 100 and each was hand painted in the Poole Potter Studio under his supervision.
