Scope and Contents

The exhibition was curated by Suzanne Reese Horvitz and Anne Stengel Raman. Judith Hoffberg's essay is titled "Full of Elegance and Wit, Timeless yet Familiar: Unique Bookworks" from the writing of Robert Lax. She claims that artists books are not containers of ideas, but a consummate experience that challenge the reader and actively shape the reading experience. "The experience of viewing and reading a unique artist book is an interactive experience in which the viewer completes the work, creating and changing emotional reactions to the artist's own." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
