I’d be grateful for suggestions of books that address the dialog between contemporary craft and art in a critical and meaningful way.

 

One of our art faculty members recently received a teaching excellence award that included funds to purchase books for our library. (Items bought with these funds will carry a bookplate acknowledging his gift.) At his request, I’ve prepared a list of likely materials in his areas of interest, of which the craft/art discussion is one.

 

Here’s what I’ve collected so far on the subject:

 

Risatti, Howard                                                 A theory of craft: Function and aesthetic expression  (2007)

Anna, Fariello, and Owen, Paula                Objects and meaning: New perspectives on art and craft   (2005)

Adamson, Glenn                                              Thinking through craft   (2007)

Britton-Newell, Lauri                                      Out of the ordinary: Spectacular craft   (2007)

Magliaro, Joseph, and Hung, Shu              By hand: The use of craft in contemporary art   (2006)

Alfoldy, Sandra (ed)                                        NeoCraft: Modernity and the crafts   (2008)

Johnson, Jean                                                   Exploring contemporary craft: History, theory, and critical writing   (2002)

Gustafson, Paula (ed)                                    Craft Perception and Practice (Vols. I-IIII)  (2002-2007)

 

Off-list replies much appreciated.
