| Summary |
"Many famous artists have made artists' books, from Hockney and Warhol to more contemporary artists such as Susan Hiller, Gilbert and George and Brad Freeman. Over the past ten years the popularity of artists' books has grown rapidly with many exhibitions devoted to them." "This book provides a practical guide for visual artists who are interested in creating their own work in the artist's book format. After a brief look at the history of the book as an artwork in its own right, Sarah Bodman examines various methods and practical issues involved in making an artist's book, illustrating each area with examples of work from a number of artists." "This book provides an intriguing reference for any artist considering making artists' books or anyone wanting to discover more about this fascinating and growing art form."--BOOK JACKET |
