Artists Books are unique creations that question what we think of as a book, their nature and appearance can be different from what can typically be found on a book shelve. The book as an art object is a product of the 20th century.
Due to their unique nature, it is difficult to search the catalog for Artist's Books. If you would like to look for more Artists' Books within the collection contact us.
