The Last Supper of Jesus Christ has been rendered by artists for many centuries. This expressionistic version drew inspiration from medieval sculpture and art found in northern Europe. The “Pottery Group of Bremen,” headed up by Ingetraut Riemer, was comprised of Reimer and five other German Latter-day Saint women—Gerlinde Gesell, Bridgette Horstel, Sieglende Nowak, Ilse Selvarajah, and Rosemarie Torche—who worked together to create this sculpture.
