Perhaps unsurprisingly, some of the artists books within our collection draw inspiration from literary works. Some of the artists books that use literature as inspiration entirely reimagine a literary work through an artistic lens, while others use pieces of literature as a starting point through which they can examine other themes in their work. Listed below are a selection of the artists' books within our collection having to do with literature.
