Arts Library
Artists' Books: Recent Acquisitions
Through June 20
This exhibit features recent additions to the Arts Library's collection of artists' books, including works by Cheryl Gaulke, Paula McCartney, Stephen Sidelinger, Lex Thompson, and Richard Troncone, and also includes a piece by Nina Katchadourian commissioned for the 2007 Norton Family Christmas Project. Started in 1985 with the first of two large purchases from Los Angeles collector Judith A. Hoffberg, the library's collection focuses on artists' books as agents of social change, the book as a conceptual space, and artists' books that pay self-conscious attention to book structure. The exhibit was organized by Arts Librarian Robert Gore.
