Head of Department
Harry Pottle (British, B.1925-D.1998): A prolific designer for both film and television, with an extraordinarily well-honed understanding of the nuances of his art and craft. His extensive work on the cult TV show 'The Avengers was singled out for praise by the series' star, Patrick Macnee. Arguably among the best work of his career, Pottle's designs represented a high point of wit and sophistication in the visual style that was never subsequently matched in the three seasons produced after his 1965 departure from Independent Artists.
Provenance: From the vendor's godmother Denise Pottle, who was married to Harry Pottle - the Art Director for The Avengers 1965-1966.
