Wayne Higby's retrospective exhibition - focusing on the concept of
the artist scholar - at ASU Art Museum, in Spring 2013. It
documents his ceramic work with over 150 images of 50 seminal works
and gives context to the story behind the artwork. Wayne Higby's
international reputation both as an artist, a scholar and teacher
will be explored in the contributions to this book that includes a
detailed chronology of Higby's life and career as well as
highlights and excerpts from his well known writings on ceramic
art. Essays on the American Landscape and American landscape art as
the inspiration behind Higby's work as well as his important,
influential explorations into contemporary vessel aesthetics are
included along with an essay that chronicles his central role in
the development of contemporary Chinese ceramic art. Additionally,

installations is explored in detail. Born in Colorado Springs,

Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1968. Since 1973, he has been on the
