About this Event
University of Delaware Library
https://exhibitions.lib.udel.edu/the-artists-book-in-our-times/Artists’ books are a type of artistic expression that uses the form or function of a book as inspiration. The book itself is the art, incorporating techniques from typography, design, printmaking, papermaking and bookbinding to bring an idea to life. The medium allows for a great amount of innovation and creativity on the part of an artist seeking to make a unique statement.
In The Artist’s Book in Our Times, discover the many ways that book artists use the medium to explore social issues, including race, gender and sexuality, politics, the climate crisis, COVID-19, and more. The exhibition will include work by some of the most accomplished book artists in works drawn from the important collection of artists’ books in Special Collections at the University of Delaware.
The exhibition is on view February 7 - May 13 in the Special Collections Gallery in Morris Library on the University of Delaware’s Newark campus. The Special Collections Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
