Facts
Origin YearSources trace the movement's roots to the Arts and Crafts movement of 1880 to 1920, but treat the 1969 OBJECTS:USA exhibition as its watershed crystallizing moment; 1969 is recorded here as that landmark year, not as an absolute founding date. OriginGrew out of the nineteenth-century Arts and Crafts movement's revolt against factory production, then crystallized as its own field with the 1969 OBJECTS:USA exhibition, which set out to bridge the divide between fine art and craft. 1 Cross-Tradition Connections
