OBJECTS: USA

Five decades ago, the most influential craft exhibition ever staged, OBJECTS: USA, toured America. New York-based gallery R & Company revived the exhibition in 2020 and 2024, ultimately resulting in a traveling version that pairs work by artists from the original exhibition with those of contemporary makers.

America has changed a great deal over the past fifty years, yet the creative capacities of individual makers remain one of America’s most inspiring cultural wellsprings.
