Biodiversity and material innovation are just a few of the concepts behind the 30 short-listed works on display at the Noguchi Museum in Long Island City, New York, through June 18 as part of the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize.
Now in its sixth edition, the competition highlights talents from around the world, including Aranda\Lasch and Terrol Dew Johnson, whose copper powder and jute pulp work, Desert Paper 18, draws on indigenous American basket-weaving traditions. “I’m thrilled that the prize is having its first proper moment in the U.S.,” says Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson. “With its rich history and dedication to craftsmanship, it plays an important role in the global craft community.”
