Administrative / Biographical History
Richard Philip Minsky is a book artist, book art historian, and founder of the Center for Book Arts in New York City.
Minsky was born in 1947 in New York City. At age 13, he purchased a Kelsey platen printing press, ink, and six cases of used foundry type, and began a job printing business that he operated out of his home throughout high school and college. In addition to his strong interest in printing, photography, and the arts, he studied economics as an undergraduate and graduate student, graduating cum laude from Brooklyn College (1968) and completing an M.A. in economics at Brown University (1969). He subsequently enrolled in a doctoral program in economics at the New School for Social Research in 1969, where he also studied philosophy of art. In 1971 he left the program to become a full-time book artist. Throughout his studies in economics, he maintained his printshop, and while a graduate student at Brown, he studied hand bookbinding under the mentorship of University Bookbinder Daniel Gibson Knowlton, whose works would later be among the first exhibited at the new Center for Book Arts. Between 1970 and 1971, Minsky worked as a binder and photographer for the Joseph H. Hirshhorn Museum (officially open to the public in 1974 in Washington, D.C.), and subsequently opened his own printshop, bindery, and art gallery in 1972.
In the early 1970s, Minsky developed plans to establish a public workspace and gallery dedicated to the promotion and exhibition of the art of the book, both contemporary and historical. In 1974, he founded the Center for Book Arts in a storefront at 15 Bleecker Street in New York City, combining studio facilities and exhibition space and providing practical workshops and classes at affordable rates. The Center opened to the public in September 1974. Its first weekend event was a meeting of artist Ray Johnson’s Spam Radio Club, and the Center’s “Opening Exhibition” launched in December of that year.
The Center for Book Arts is “the oldest non profit dedicated to uplifting and furthering the book arts & book art through education, preservation, exhibition, generation, and community building” (CBA, “About”). In addition to its studio rental and membership programs, the Center for Book Arts’ programming supports three primary functions: Exhibitions, Publications (including artists’ special projects), and Education. Since the Center’s establishment in 1974, the exhibition program has grown to 10 to 14 book arts exhibitions per year and is free and open to the general public. Exhibitions are held in the Center for Book Arts gallery and have also been installed in such institutions as the Watson Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the New York Public Library. The public education program offers bookmaking workshops and classes in techniques such as bookbinding, letterpress printing, wood engraving, and paper marbling, as well as tours and outreach activities, seminars, lectures, poetry readings, and an annual artist residency program. The Center’s publication program produces exhibition catalogs, book works, and publications such as Book Arts (1975-1977), Book Arts Review (1982-1991; relaunched in fall 1998), and the newsletter of “occasional updates,” Koob Stra (1993-approximately 2000). The Center is supported by charitable donations from individuals, members, and corporate sponsors, as well as agencies and foundations such as the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York Council for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the J.M. Kaplan Fund.
Minsky served as Executive Director of the Center for Book Arts from 1974 to 1975 and President through 1978. Between 1978 and 1979, he relocated to London as a US/UK Bicentennial Fellow, setting up a studio and lecturing at such schools as the London College of Printing and the Camberwell School of Art–activities documented in his work Minsky in London (1980). Over the next several decades, he remained involved in the curation of exhibitions and events as well as instruction as a member of the Center faculty, returning to serve as the Center’s Director of Exhibitions in 1986-1987. His curated exhibitions include Book Artchitecture (1985); The Bookworks of Tom Phillips (1987); Jean de Gonet (1987); Book Works, London (1987); The Effects of Time (1987); Open for Action: Political Book Art (2003); and Embraced: The International Community (2015). In addition, in 1990 he organized the national conference Book Arts in the USA and curated the Book Arts in the USA exhibition, which notably toured throughout Africa and Latin America as a “cultural presentation of the United States,” arranged and funded in part by the Arts America Program of the United States Information Agency, following its installation in the Center for Book Arts Gallery. Minsky once again served as President of the Center for Book Arts from 1990 to 1998, and as Chairman from 2002 to 2007. Other Presidents include Fabio Coen (1978-79), Douglas Wolf (approximately 1980-1985), Barbara Mauriello (1985/1986), and Carol Sturm (1987). Past Executive Directors include Kathy Weldon (1975-1981), Robin Siegel (1982-1985), Candace Langholff (December 1985-1987 or 1988), Cathleen Gallander (1988-unknown), Don Lindgren (early 1990s), Brian Hannon (1992-1997 and 1999-2000), Peter Smith (1997-1999, as “President”), Anne Moore (2000-unknown), Rory Golden (2002-2004), Alexander Campos (2004-2018), and Corina Reynolds (2019-present).
The Center has always been located in Manhattan, but it has moved twice since opening on Bleecker Street, near the Bowery, in the southern portion of the borough. In 1984, the Center relocated to 626 Broadway, a short walk from the original location. In addition to a gallery, print shop, bindery, and library, the renovated space (over 5,000 square feet) included five private studios ranging in size from 100 to 250 square feet. In 1999, the Center purchased and renovated the third floor of 28 West 27th Street in the Flatiron district, and moved into the space in August of that year.

Note
The “Videotapes on Hand Papermaking” most likely derived from the master tapes in this series were advertised as follows in a flyer (pasted in the Center for Book Arts historical scrapbook):
The 1977 Hand Papermakers Conference
In October, 1977 the Center for Book Arts organized a three day workshop/conference in New York City with the assistance of a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Over 100 hand papermakers, artists and scholars from the United States, Canada and Mexico came for an event which had two unique features: for the first time outstanding papermakers demonstrated techniques of forming sheets in an international seminar, and for the first time the conference was videotaped.
This one-hour tape has been edited to communicate the maximum amount of technical and visual information, and features demonstrations by John Koller of HMP Papers, Woodstock Valley, Connecticut, and by Kathryn and Howard Clark of Twinrocker Handmade Papers, Brookston, Indiana. John Koller and the Clarks operate the two most productive hand papermaking studios in the United States, and between them present a wealth of experience.
John Koller has experimented with new methods of forming sheets in his collaborational art media. The Clarks have maintained an apprenticeship program which has produced some of America’s most outstanding artists working in paper, as well as papermakers who produce for printmakers. They also make paper for book printing and fine art lithography, including Universal Limited Art Editions and Tamarind. Howard Clark’s background in engineering makes his answers to technical questions from the conferees clear and accurate.
This tape is an important historical document with much practical information on the nature and forming of handmade papers.
One-hour color U-Matic (¾” cassette) $100.
Dieu Donne
Bruce and Susan Wineberg have established a hand papermaking studio in New York City. They also write books, set type by hand, print and bind. Named Dieu Donne Press and Paper, they have begun producing high quality rag paper for other artists and producers. This 1/2 hour tape shows the entire process in linear sequence, from cutting rags and beating to couching, pressing and drying the sheets. The tape includes an interview with the Winebergs about the origin and purpose of their studio. This tape provides an excellent introduction to the process for the student, librarian, artist or curator.
One-half hour color U-Matic (¾” cassette) $75.

Biographical History
Ulises Carrión (1941-1989) was a Mexican conceptual artist and author of the seminal 1975 essay “The New Art of Making Books” (“El arte nuevo de hacer libros”) (see photocopy in Carrión file). In 1970, he founded Other Books & So in Amsterdam, a bookstore and gallery space dedicated to the exhibition and distribution of artists’ books.
John DePol (1913-2004) was a wood-engraver from New York City.
Hermann Greissle was a wood-engraver and former instructor at Center for Book Arts.
Ray Johnson (1927-1995) was a New York City-based Pop and conceptual artist widely recognized as a pioneer in the practice of mail art. After 1968, he relocated from New York City to Glen Cove, Long Island, and subsequently, Locust Valley, New York, where he lived until his death. Despite his increasing physical isolation, he continued to develop his network of mail art correspondents, and in 1975, he held the first meeting of the “Spam Radio Club” at the Center for Book Arts.
Series 8. Photographic Materials
Date
1974-approximately 2004, bulk 1970s-1980s
Extent
1 box, 4 flat files
Scope and Contents
Primarily photographic prints as well as negatives, slides, velloxes, and contact sheets in both color and black and white. Images document book artworks (“artwork documentation”), events (exhibition openings, annual Open Houses, workshops, etc.), people, and places, including exterior and interior spaces at three Center for Book Arts locations (15 Bleeker Street, 626 Broadway, 28 W. 27th Street). The majority of the materials lack descriptive captions or notes, and unless otherwise noted, materials are undated. Many prints are credited to Phyllis Bilick, a photographer and artist with a long relationship with the Center for Book Arts, and/or are stamped with “15 Bleeker Street,” which suggests that they were printed between 1974 and 1984. A selection of prints are mounted on paper and/or bear markings and annotations related to page layout and reproduction in Center for Book Arts publications (typically unspecified). Some folders additionally contain letters or notes concerning photographic materials, as well as the original envelopes from photo labs with New York City addresses.
Photographs of artworks were used for documentation, publicity, and marketing purposes, including reproduction in exhibition catalogs, Center for Book Arts publications and features (such as the Book Arts Review “Members’ File” column), and the 1981 Center for Book Arts Gift Catalog. Documentation of events and activities includes coverage of select exhibitions; Book Arts Day at the Cooper Hewitt Museum (1979); the Center for Book Arts Annual Open House in December (probably 1977, 1978); the Symposium on Artists Books (1981); workshops and demonstrations; and faculty, apprentices, and students using the studio facilities and/or engaged in bookmaking activities. Repeatedly photographed figures include Richard Minsky, Barbara Mauriello, Susan Share, and Mindell Dubansky, as well as Center affiliates and faculty members such as Peter Beard, Norman Colp, Dikko Faust, Gérard Charrière, Jean de Gonet, Susan Rabinowitz, Carol Wax, and unidentified students and apprentices. These photographs fulfilled both documentation and publicity purposes; some images were reproduced in newspaper and journal articles about the Center for Book Arts, Center for Book Arts newsletters and Education programs, and/or included in duplicate in the Center for Book Arts scrapbook.

F.F. 9-10 Exterior photographs of 28 W. 27th Street, undated
F.F. 11-12 Interior photographs of 28 W. 27th Street under renovation, undated
Notes
Some items were removed from other boxes and rehoused in Box 1, but the overwhelming majority of these materials were originally arranged together. The original arrangement and order were largely retained, resulting in duplicate prints and negatives dispersed throughout the container; duplicates are noted on the container list whenever possible. Large prints were removed and rehoused in flat files.
Content from individual files was redistributed across multiple folders as needed to protect and preserve the physical materials.
Series 9. Senate Ladies Luncheon Materials
Date
1977
Extent
6 folders, 1 flat file
Scope and Contents
Program booklets, correspondence, exhibition catalogs, and press clippings documenting the “Senate Ladies Luncheon” at the White House on May 16, 1977. First Lady Rosalynn Carter chose to celebrate contemporary American crafts as the theme of her first annual luncheon for senators’ wives, commissioning the Center for Book Arts to produce program booklets as gifts for each of the guests. Douglass Howell, Randolph Hunt, Hedi Kyle, Richard Minsky, Joseph Monza, Susan Rabinowitz, Rodi Rovner, Antonia Weil, and Thomas Weitzel all participated in the production of these gift booklets. The hand-bound, letterpress-printed program booklet features handmade linen paper and hand-marbled endpapers, and contains a short text by Rosalynn Carter, the luncheon menu, and details about the other artisans represented. The American Crafts in the White House exhibition catalog was published shortly after the event by the Craft and Folk Art Museum to commemorate the luncheon. The correspondence includes a letter from Rosalynn Carter to Richard Minsky as well as exchanges with Gretchen Posten, White House Social Secretary, and Elena Canavier, Crafts Coordinator for the National Endowment for the Arts.
