Link: Lowery Stokes Sims: BEYOND THE HORIZONS OF CRAFT Diversity in the Global Art Market

Lowery Sims guest edited an issue of The Brooklyn Rail, "Beyond the Horizons of Craft: Diversity in the Global Art Market,” published on April 2, 2014.

. . . This issue includes the perspectives of individuals involved in craft and craftsmanship that consider these issues from various perspectives: from that of the artists by Sheila Pepe, Aaron McIntosh and curator Allyson Unzicker; from that of the traditional craftsperson by Keith Recker; from that of the field itself by Namita Wiggers; to that of the community manifestations by Margaret Wertheim. It also considers the implications of digital technology by Ron Labaco; and a tribute to Aileen Osborne Webb, the catalytic founder of the American Craft Council and what would become the Museum of Arts and Design by Glenn Adamson. We are pleased to have also in this issue Danielle Mysliwiec’s interview with the legendary artist in fiber and other materials, Sheila Hicks.
