    Summary

    PR photo of one room of the exhibition Objects: USA at the National Collection of Fine Arts, Smithsonian Institution (now the Smithsonian American Art Museum).
    Identification on verso (typewritten): Conception: Non-function is characterized by this broad view of several objects featured in the Johnson Collection of Contemporary Crafts. From the Richard Shaw ceramic mini-couch and chair in the foreground to the three-dimensional featured wall hanging by Dominic Di Mare the more than 250 craftsmen in the collection pose the question, is craft art?
