Item Description
An in-depth analysis of Frans Wildenhain and his role in mid-century studio ceramics, university education in handcrafts and his innovative and entrepreneurial role in merchandizing crafts. Published to accompany the exhibition of the same name (Aug. 20 - Oct. 2, 2012). Six chapters offer contributions to scholarship on the artist, mid-century studio pottery and modern design, monetizing and commercial acceptance of mid-century handcrafted art at an innovative artists' cooperative, university education at the School for American Craftsmen, and an interview with collector Robert Johnson who donated his Wildenhain collection to RIT. The book is an essential document of the exhibition and an excellent reference for those interested in ceramics, crafts, mid-century design and art entrepreneurship.
