An uncommon catalogue of an exhibition exploring the value of aesthetic collaboration between artists and architects, held at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York, 16 March – 13 May, 1962. The exhibition proposed that architects and artists might work together to “give meaning to space by relating form and use to human proportions and by rejoining the arts under one common roof.” Campbell describes this exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Crafts as “[fostering] closer relationships among all creative people who work together to produce an architecture truly expressive of our time.”
Includes a list of 65 works by 31 collaborating artists and architects: Mark Adams, Anni Albers, Josef Albers, Paul Aschenbach, Harris and Ros Barron, Wolfgang Behl, Harry Bertoia, Mariette Bevington, Jan De Swart, Paul Evans, Ted Hallman, Richard Lippold, John Mason, Glen Michaels, William Moreland, Constantino Nivola, Isamu Noguchi, Peter Ostuni, Robert Pinart, Allan Porter, Lili Rankin Schlemowitz, Robert Sowers, Zelda Strecker, Lenore Tawney, Joe Testa-Secca, Nicholas Vergette, David Weinrib, Sam Wiener, Jr., Frans Wildenhain, Henry Lee Willet and Associates. (notes on the artists are presented at the back of the book compiled by Robert A. Laurer.
“Throughout history architecture has served the noble purpose of bringing artists together for mutual achievement. Most often the record of this collaboration has pointed up how well the beauty of one art form may be enhanced by another. Much architecture of this century has ignored the added life which the artist can invest in a structure. It has been a period during which the architect, pressed by the client to solve a continuous series of economic problems dealing with the construction and use of building space, appeared to neglect the other arts.” – from the introduction by David R. Campbell.
Provenance: The collection of the John McEnroe Library at The New York Studio School (with their collection stamp) via the library of the British artist Roderic Hill who studied at the New York Studio School.
