Summary
Nationalmuseum has invited Helen W. Drutt English, pioneering craft educator and gallerist of American Modern and Contemporary Crafts since the 1960s, to assemble a collection of objects drawn from the field of ?American Crafts?. The selection of 81 works from the 1950s until today will in future enrich Nationalmuseum?s collections and will provide a possibility to look at American Crafts in the Nordic context.00The collection includes objects by prominent American designers such as George Nakashima, Lenore Tawney, Nancy Carman, Michael Hurwitz and Howard Ben Tré, i.e. American artists, or artists who emigrated and formed their practice in America and date from the 1950s until today. The scale of the objects varies from small pieces of jewelry to chairs and impressive wall pieces and textiles.00Exhibition: Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden (30.03.2023 - 21.01.2024).
