What Is An Artists’ Book?
Explore the expansive and inventive world of artists’ books in this debut exhibition, which will return on occasion!
These unique works blur the boundaries between object, narrative, and experience, with definitions intentionally left open and artist-driven. Created as one-of-a-kind pieces or in limited editions, artists’ books reveal meaning over time through the interplay of form, material, and content. Ranging from familiar book-like structures to sculptural and experimental formats, they often incorporate drawing, printmaking, collage, photography, textiles, and creative writing—inviting touch, interpretation, and discovery while challenging how art can be experienced.
Each time this exhibition is on view, it will feature a range of artists and their artists’ books—so be sure to visit today to explore this vast, dynamic world!
