Brief Summary from Weisman Art Museum Website

Curated by ceramic artist Randy Johnston The Persistence of Mingei: Influence through Four Generations of Ceramic Artists highlights the enduring ceramic tradition in Minnesota and of the strength of WAM’s collection, with additional pieces lent by collectors and artists. It also pays homage to University of Minnesota Regents Professor Warren MacKenzie and to his predecessors, students, and colleagues. A fully illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibit.


Also Exciting...!

The Weisman Art Museum has purchased my piece, Lift, to become part of their permanent collection using funds from the Warren and Nancy McKenzie fund, which is dedicated to the purchase of contemporary ceramics for the museum's permanent collection.
