RICHARD NOTKIN Stoneware teapot, 1999. (Richard Notkin studied under Ken Ferguson at the Kansas City Art Institute, earning a BFA in 1970 and under Robert Arneson at the University of California, where he earned an MFA in 1973. His outspoken criticisms of social and political issues are evident in his work, such as the tile mural `The Gift' and his sculptural re-interpretations of the Yixing teapot.

He has won several awards, including the National Endowment for the Arts Visual Arts Fellowships in 1981 and 1988, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award in 1991 and a Jerry Metcalf Foundation Artist Fellowship in 1999.
