Essays by Johanna Drucker, Jen Larson, Erin Riley-Lopez, Nina Schneider, Amanda Stevenson, and Tony White

This exhibition catalogue marks the culmination of Center for Book Arts’ three-year Collections Initiative, which involved the in-depth cataloguing and preservation of an extensive collection of artist books, prints, catalogues, and ephemera. The catalogue offers an overview of the history and development of book arts over the past 40 years, and examines the role of the institution in both nurturing and promoting innovative artists and preserving traditional artistic practices.
