Description
Summary:Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Stanford University Libraries and the Boston Athenaeum, this volume shows how contemporary artists' books integrate concept, materials, and technique in a way that allows high craft to converge with high concept and result in a book art object. The selection appears as part of an archival enterprise geared towards a cultural record of this moment in which we live. Each artists' book has been diligently presented on the initiative of the CODEX Foundation, which aims to preserve and promote the handmade book as a work of art, bringing public recognition to the artists, craftsmanship, and rich history of the civilisation of the book. Exhibition: Stanford University Libraries, Stanford, USA (24.02-28.08.2022) / Boston Athenaeum (Fall 2022).
