It reads "Ever innovative and predictably diverse, artists' books occupy a creative space between the familiar four-cornered object and challenging works of art that question every preconception of what a book can be. Many artists, such as Ken Campbell and Susan King, specialize in self-contained art projects in the form of books. Others who are primarily known as sculptors, painters, or performance artists carry on a parallel practice in artists' books, including Anselm Kiefer, Lis Anne Auerbach, Ed Ruscha, and Richard Tuttle. The history of the artist's book touches nearly every contemporary movement and has influenced Pop art, Fluxus, Conceptual art, feminist art, and postmodernism. This selection of striking books from the Special Collections of the Getty Research Institute seeks to provoke new inquiry into the nature of art and books in contemporary culture."The contents of the book, and its quality of presentation, can best be summarized in the illustrations accompanying this description. They show:· The front face of the dust jacket· The Title page (a 2-page spread)· The table of Contents· The Foreword· The first page of The Book In General: Some New Definitions, by Marcia Reed· Five (5) typical 2-page spreads of text and illustration.

This stunning volume illuminates the current moment of artists’ engagement with books, revealing them as an essential medium in contemporary art. Ever innovative and predictably diverse in their physical formats, artists’ books occupy a creative space between the familiar four-cornered object and challenging works of art that effectively question every preconception of what a book can be. Many artists specialize in producing self-contained art projects in the form of books, like Ken Campbell and Susan King, or they establish small presses, like Simon Cutts and Erica Van Horn’s Coracle Press or Harry and Sandra Reese’s Turkey Press. Countless others who are primarily known as sculptors, painters, or performance artists carry on a parallel practice in artists’ books, including Anselm Kiefer, Annette Messager, Ed Ruscha, and Richard Tuttle. Artists and Their Books / Books and Their Artists includes eighty important examples selected from the Getty Research Institute’s Special Collections of more than six thousand editions and unique artists’ books.   This volume also presents precursors to the artist’s book, such as Joris Hoefnagel’s sixteenth-century calligraphy masterpiece; single-sheet episodes from Albrecht Dürer’s Life of Mary, designed to be either broadsides or a book; early illustrated scientific works; and avant-garde publications. Twentieth-century works reveal the impact of artists’ books on Pop Art, Fluxus, Conceptualism, feminist art, and postmodernism. The selection of books by an international range of artists who have chosen to work with texts and images on paper provokes new inquiry into the nature of art and books in contemporary culture.  , Hardcover, Edition: 1, Label: Getty Research Institute, Getty Research Institute, Product group: Book, Published: 2018-07-10, Studio: Getty Research Institute, Sales rank: 1641985.
