The above display was a part of a retrospective exhibition at Objectspace, Auckland. It was researched and curated by Moyra Elliott. A catalogue, published by Rim Books, with images and essays, entitled, 'The Greatest Show: Warren Tippett's Pots from a Life Less Ordinary' was authored by Elliott with a guest essay by Peter Wells. It was re-designed and published by Rim Books in 2017.
