Artists' Books, Kunstlerbucher Buchobjekte, 1986

 Item
Identifier: CC-10086-10287
Scope and Contents

Contains statement by the artists on the definition of an Artist Book. This catalogue provides documentation of the artist's activities often accompanied by photographic reproductions. The quirky binding of this book, which in itself might be classified as an artist's book, make access to the pages difficult and time-consuming and therefore not a easily readable reference text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
