Biblio. No.5/May / Basbanes N ; Sackner MA ; Carey B ; Freeman B ; Drucker J., 1998
Rye Armstrong contributed an illustrated essay, "Blessed Be the Book," concerning the work of Brainard Carey (aka Brian Salzsberg). Carey, a book artist whose work is held by the Sackner Archive, is described as a neo-monk who has recreated the Book of Job, transcribing, illustrating and binding it by hand. Carole Grossman discusses the difference between livre d'artiste and artists' books in her essay '"Books at the Limit." She writes that artists' books "are very much an international twentieth century phenomenon...and frequently question the meaning and role of the book as an art form. Often the artists hark back to the original idea of a clandestine private press and use their artistic abilities to underscore their own political or social ideas. As a general rule one can expect private-press or fine-press books and livres d'artistes to be more in the classical tradition of book design than artists' books." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
