Artists Books : A Critical Survey of the Literature Stefan Klima New York : Granary Books, 1998 N7433.3 .K55 1998 This book traces not the development of the artist's book itself, but of the critical discourse surrounding it. Kilma discusses various critics', librarians', and artists' treatment of issues small and large, from where the apostrophe in "artists' books" should reside (if anywhere), to the omnipresent question of how even to define the genre. What Kilma reveals is an evolving--and most certainly debated--understanding of what artists' books are; how they should be distributed, displayed, and stored; and why they are such a fertile, contested locus in the first place. The final section of the book contains an extensive bibliography ("List of Sources Consulted"); though it is now more than a decade old, it is still perhaps the most complete available. |
