DescriptionDescription: What distinguishes craft from fine art? The material is a common answer – if a sculpture is made of glass or glazed porcelain it is called crafts, but if it is made of marble or bronze it is called fine art. Another answer may concern size. Many perceive a small piece as craft while a larger piece is more often defined as fine art. With his androgynous porcelain figures, Christian-Pontus Andersson has been accepted in both worlds.
