Description: London: Tate Publishing, 2014. 24cm., pbk., 144pp. illus. Exhibition catalogue. Summary: This book is an accessible and richly illustrated look at a growing influence on popular culture which accompanies the major exhibition British Folk Art at Tate Britain. Folk art is an established subject in many countries; however, in Britain the genre remains elusive, and this publication will accompany the first major survey of the subject. Rarely considered in the context of art history, ‘folk art’ has been viewed as part of social history or folklore studies. This publication unites an extraordinary selection of objects, exploring the threshold between art and artefact and challenging perceptions of ’high art’. Surprising and diverse examples of British folk art will be illustrated, from rustic leather Toby jugs to brightly coloured ships’ figureheads and highly accomplished carousel horses.
