Description
Unpaginated. 8vo, pink printed wrappers, staple-bound. Springfield, MA: 1981. Scarce exhibition catalogue of artists’ books. The show was organized by guest curator Carol Forget and assistant curator Brendan Stecchini. 246 books listed (plus some “late entries”). From Forget’s Introduction: “An artist’s book like any other artwork is a result of a concern. It is a merging of ideas or of one single idea and some kind of technology into an intimate, accessible form…An overwhelming number of artists’ books are self-published and self-distributed, and because of this, there is a great deal of freedom regarding subject matter and presentation…The purpose of this exhibition is to show a broad survey of selected contemporary artists’ books and to further this art form, which in the past decade has grown in terms of involvement and attention given to it. It is my hope that the books in this exhibition will be ‘read’ and enjoyed.” Near fine. Three copies in WorldCat.
