Objects: USA 2020 hails a new generation of artistcraftspeople by revisiting a groundbreaking event that redefined American art. In 1969, an exhibition opened at the Smithsonian Institution that redefined American art.Objects: USA united a cohort of artists inventing new approaches to artmaking by way of craft media. Subsequently touring to twentytwo museums across the country, where it was viewed by over half a million Americans, and then to eleven cities in Europe, the exhibition canonized such artists as Anni Albers, Sheila Hicks, Wharton Esherick, Wendell Castle, and George Nakashima, and introduced others who would go on to achieve widespread artworld acclaim, including Dale Chihuly, Michele Oka Doner, J. B. Blunk, and Ron Nagle.Objects: USA 2020 revisits this revolutionary exhibition and its accompanying catalog which has become a bible of sorts to curators, gallerists, dealers, craftspeople, and artists by pairing fifty participants from the original exhibition with fifty contemporary artists representing the next generation of practitioners to use and upend the traditional methods and materials of craft to create new forms of art.Published to coincide with an exhibition of the same title at the renowned gallery R & Company, and featuring essays by some of the foremost authorities on craft at the intersection of art, including Glenn Adamson, curator and former director of the Museum of Arts & Design; James Zemaitis, curator and former head of twentiethcentury design at Sotheby's; and Lena Vigna, curator of exhibitions at the Racine Art Musuem; an interview with Paul J. Smith, the cocurator ofObjects: USA 2020 is an essential art historical reference that traces how craft was elevated to the status of museumquality art, and sets its trajectory forward.
