OR Dame Lucie (Gomperz) Rie, famous for her pottery work OR Garth Clark Gallery - Artists and Pottery Studio OR Dame Lucie Rie & Hans Coper pdf. Hans Rie was a young businessman, working in the Brüder Böhm hat factory. He was one of the Gomperz family circle, an easy-going man, but with little in common with his wife, beyond a fondness for skiing. The marriage never really took and Lucie Rie devoted herself increasingly to her work. She also became close with the architect Ernst Plishke - more bio., giving him one of his first commissions designing furniture for her apartment. By 1938, Rie's refusal to take seriously the 'stupidity' of Nazism was no longer tenable. She and her husband escaped to England, intending to move on to the United States. Her decision to stay in London, alone, determined the course of the rest of her life and work. She moved into a house in Albion Mews, Bayswater, where Freud's son, Ernst (an architect), adapted the interior for the Plischke furniture, she had brought with her. Hans Rie went on to America and the couple were amicably divorced. Lucie remained a good friend of her sister in-law Gertrude and her daughters Lottie (nee Bohm) Mackay and Maria (nee Bohm) Jacobson
