The sequential image in photographic books organized by Norman B. Colp.
Norman B. Colp, the curator, said of the exhibit: “This exhibit brings together a group of artists whose photographic bookworks have common focal points even though they are from such diverse locations as New Mexico, Illinois, Massachusetts, The Netherlands, and Germany. Some have only begun showing in recent years while others are well established in the art world…Souza, Gleber, Mendoza and Kahlen deal with the manipulation of the photo image…Three others are concerned with human activities that are so commonplace that we fail to give them any importance in our visual landscape…The remaining seven photographers’ books are about ordinary things.”
The Center for Book Arts collections includes the exhibition catalogue and the exhibition invitation.
Support for the Center for Book Arts’ visual arts programming is provided, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts, with the support of Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
