Art of the Book Exhibit
Our exhibit was inspired by the visits of several Foundations classes making Artists’ Books for their final project. We wanted to show them Artists’ Books that utilize a variety of techniques and a wide range of materials. Since paper arts are often a large part of an artists’ book, we also brought out some more commercial examples of pop-ups, fold outs, and enclosures with removable pieces. We hope you enjoy our online exhibit!
