Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Kay Sekimachi dated April 16, 1995.

California and the Fiber Art Revolution Suzanne Baizerman Imogene Gieling Curator of Crafts and Decorative Arts Oakland Museum of California Oakland, CA 510-238-3005 [email protected] In the 1960s and ‘70s, California artists participated in and influenced an international revolution in fiber art. The California Design (CD) exhibitions, a series held at the Pasadena Art Museum from 1955 to 1971 (and at another venue in 1976) captured the form and spirit of the transition from handwoven, designer textiles to two dimensional fiber art and sculpture.1 Initially, the California Design exhibits brought together manufactured and one-of-a kind hand-crafted objects, akin to the Good Design exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

These 20th- and 21st-century works are among the finest examples of studio craft and represent objects by notable artists, such as fiber artists Anni Albers and Sheila Hicks, sculptor Robert Arneson, glass artist Dale Chihuly, and furniture maker John Cederquist. The gift includes works of fiber (94), ceramics (24), glass (19), turned wood/carvings (11), metal (5), furniture (4), jewelry (2), Structure No. 18: Theory of Lift, basketry (1), and folk art (1). The largest donor of contemporary craft in the Jeanette Marie Ahlgren, 1994 Museum’s history, Mrs. Farago has transformed the MFA’s collection with gifts totaling nearly 950 objects to the Museum in her lifetime. Other significant donations to the MFA by Mrs. Farago include the 2006 gift of more than 650 pieces of contemporary jewelry and the 2004 gift of more than 80 works of contemporary fiber art created by the late Edward Rossbach and Katherine Westphal. "These works illustrate Daphne Farago's vision as a collector — they are part of her personal collection and represent some of the finest, most intellectually and technically ambitious creations in these areas," said Malcolm Rogers, Ann and Graham Gund Director of the MFA.
