Material Nature
Craft is deeply rooted in tradition. Historically, crafts were made by highly skilled artisans creating furniture, textiles, utilitarian ceramics, glassware, and silver service sets. Since the mid-19th century, artists have been pushing the materials beyond traditional techniques and elevating them to complex sculptural forms. In the 20th century, craft began to split into two directions: functional objects and nonfunctional works.
The gifts in this collection are inspired by the exhibition, Material Nature: Gifts from the John and Robyn Horn Collection. It is on view in the John and Robyn Horn Gallery through April 25, 2027.
