Shy boy, she Devil, and Isis

"The works presented in this catalogue, from the Wornick Collection, capture an important moment in the evolution of three-dimensional contemporary art. Working in clay, glass, metal, wood and fiber, the 109 artists featured here - including John Cederquist, Dale Chihuly, Jun Kaneko, Viola Frey, Mary Van Cline, and Peter Voulkos - are distinct in that they move away from functionality, toward the creation of purely expressive sculptural forms. The introductory essay by critic Matthew Kangas explores how these avant-garde works at once transcend the category of craft and reach back to humankind's deepest expressive urges. Gerard W.R. Ward and Julie Muniz discuss the combination of aesthetic innovation and acute sensitivity to materials shown by these artists, whose works define the riotous and compelling cutting edge of craft."--Jacket.
