Description

Global Objects: A New Perspective on Art History A fresh approach to understanding art history is offered in this book, which challenges traditional boundaries between fine art and material culture. By examining functional aesthetic objects from various materials and contexts, the author reveals how these objects transcend geographic and temporal boundaries. The book explores the production, consumption, and circulation of objects made from clay, fiber, wood, and nonferrous base metals, highlighting their social lives from creation to purchase and use. The author demonstrates how objects retain aspects of their local fabrication while absorbing additional meanings in subtle ways as they move through space and time. Beautifully illustrated, Global Objects offers an exciting new direction in art history, moving beyond regional histories driven by geography, nation-state, time period, or medium.
