Jerusalem in Exile: Artist’s Books by Kamal Boullata

Designed in honor of Boullata’s legacy, this book on artists’ books entitled Jerusalem in Exile was launched at Cambridge University in conjunction with a symposium and exhibition of the same name. The edition of 250 brings together critical essays by Elizabeth Key Fowden, Anneka Lenssen, and Claudia Tobin in conversation with a select number of books painted and bound by Boullata. Each catalogue is handcrafted, sprayed, bound and finely wrapped in Japanese calligraphy rice paper in homage to the work and sensibility of the artist.
