This catalogue documents for the first time the rich narrative and figurative traditions of contemporary craft artists in the United States, from the turn of the century to the present. Beginning with earlier pieces that often documented historical, commemorative, or mythological events, Tales and Traditions then moves to today’s work, which is often rich with personal imagery and socio-political commentary, included are Carl Milles, Eliel and Loja Saarinen and Helena Hernmarck among many.
