Artists' Books

 

We are actively building a collection of artists' books dating from the 1960s to the present (400 volumes to date, most of them published after 1990) encompassing nearly all aspects of the genre from "normal" published works to altered, sculptural, painted and unique books. The collection has three major foci: works by and about women; works that explore contemporary American politics; and works produced in Latin American countries.
