Question of Craft
Print Article QUESTIONS OF CRAFT by N.F. Karlins At Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, the fall art season opened with steam shovels and backhoes snorting in the rear of the building, a huge extension in mid-progress. Inside, despite a few bare galleries near the construction zone, the MFA is humming with a new exhibition celebrating its intended leadership role in collecting contemporary craft. "Shy Boy, She Devil, and Isis: The Art of Conceptual Craft: Selections from the Wornick Collection," Sept. 11, 2006-Jan. 6, 2008, features more than 120 works by more than 100 artists from 20 countries. The collectors Ron and Anita Wornick, Ronald C. and Anita L. Wornick both born and educated in the Boston area and now Courtesy of the Museum of Fine Oakland residents, are giving the museum artworks Arts, Boston Photo by Lee Fatherree and money to support contemporary craft collecting. The MFA is receiving all the pieces in the exhibition and enough additional material to bring the museum a sum of 250 works, representing all traditional craft media, dating largely from 1985 to the present. The Wornicks will have their names on a new gallery once the MFA expansion is complete. The provocative title of their show takes its inspiration from three of the works on view. Clifford Rainey’s Shy Boy (2005), one of a series of sculptures commenting on the artist’s boyhood in Northern Ireland, consists of a youthful male torso of silvery cast glass, whose legs disappear into a maple plinth, as if frozen in the block and unable to move.
