| Abstract |
|
"Art" and "craft" are two contrasting kinds of aesthetic, work organization, and work ideology, differing in their emphases on the standards of utility, virtuoso skill, and beauty. Activities organized as craft can become art when members of established art worlds take over their media, techniques, and organizations. Conversely, through increased academicism or subordination of traditional art concerns to exigencies that arise outside an art world, activities organized as art can become craft.

p. 863
"The histories of various art forms include typical sequences in which what has been commonly understood by practitioners and public to be a craft becomes redefined as an art or, conversely, an art becomes redfined as a craft."
