The term 'craftsmanship' is associated with individuality,
uniqueness, decorative potential, artistic quality, attention to
material and to process. But what does craftsmanship mean today?
This exhibition catalogue of nearly 600 pages explores the meaning
of craftsmanship in the context of the outstanding collection of
the Museum Angewandte Kunst (Frankfurt, Germany) in a monumental
survey of 700 items dating from 1945 to the present. Scale
reproductions of plates, furniture, cutlery, jewellery and vases
highlight their surprising variety of form. In their essays, the
ten authors take diverse approaches to the broad terrain of
craftsmanship: from the relationship between East Asia and Western
ceramics, via the handicrafts of the Romantic period, to the
adventure that is arts and crafts today. The title plays on the
perceived parallel between the ability of the cactus to survive and
thrive in adverse conditions, and the future of the hand-made
object in an industrial world.
