This book unfolds a history of American basketry, from its origins
in Native American, immigrant, and slave communities to its
contemporary presence in the fine art world. Ten contributing
authors from different areas of expertise, plus over 250 photos,
insightfully show how baskets convey meaning through the artists'
selection of materials; the techniques they use; and the colors,
designs, patterns, and textures they employ. Accompanying a museum
exhibition of the same name, the book illustrates how the processes
of industrialization changed the audiences, materials, and uses for
basketry. It also surveys the visual landscape of basketry today;
while some contemporary artists seek to maintain and revive
traditions practiced for centuries, others combine age-old
techniques with nontraditional materials to generate cultural
commentary. This comprehensive treasury will be of vital interest
to artists, collectors, curators, and historians of American
basketry, textiles, and sculpture.
