Breaking the Rules : The Printed Face of the European Avant-Garde 1900-1937edited by Stephen Bury London : British Library, 2007 Z246 .B737 2007This catalog, published on the occasion of the British Library's 2007-2008 exhibition, focuses upon the development of artists' books in the early years of the twentieth century by their most progressive proponents, the Avant-Garde. The authors argue for a natural link between the interests and tactics of the Avant-Garde (non-traditional media, democratization of art's raison d'être, internationalism) and the wide distribution of printed texts--e.g., manifestos, small-run journals, photobooks--by its members. The majority of the catalog, however, is devoted to surveying innovations in the art form and its major practitioners in a series of individual cities (all European with the exception of New York) in order to reveal concurrent commonalities and local idiosyncrasies.
Children's Corner : libri d'artista per bambini = Artists' Books for Childrenexhibition curated by Valerio Dehò ; authors, Valerio Dehò ... [et al.] Mantova [Italy] : Edizioni Corraini, 2007 123 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 24 cm N7433.3 .C53 2007The essays in this exhibition catalog focus upon the relative rarity of modern and contemporary artists' forays into children's book design and point toward the catalog itself as an opportunity to expand these books' reach. Essayists Annie Pissard and Giorgio Maffei both cite Bruno Munari as a guiding force; the catalog images represent his work as well as that of artists such as Annette Messager, Katsumi Komagata, Keith Haring, Alighiero Boetti, and Siona Delaunay.
 No Longer Innocent : Book Art in America : 1960-1980Betty Bright New York City : Granary Books : Distributed to the trade by D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers, 2005 xix, 301 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. (some col.) ; 26 cm Z1033 .F5 B75 2005In this substantial monograph, Bright includes a substantial history of book art in Europe and America before focusing upon the decades of the 1960s and 70s in great detail. Dividing artists' books into type (fine press, deluxe, multiple, and sculptural), he traces each decade's production while punctuating the narrative with specific developments, e.g., the writings of Marshall McLuhan, the founding of New York's Center for Book Arts, the evolution of collecting in the face of more and more conceptual production, the establishment of the Visual Studies Workshop, the increasing use of the photocopier as a creative tool, and the adoption of the book as a locus for feminist artmaking. An image of American artists' book production emerges that is heterogeneous but reflective of the social climate(s) in which it developed.
The Russian Avant-Garde BookMargit Rowell and Deborah Wye New York : Museum of Modern Art : distributed by Harry N. Abrams, 2002 304 p. : ill. (chiefly col.) ; 28 cm N6988 .B66 R68 2002A thorough introduction to the topic, this MoMA exhibition catalog includes images of hundreds of books, arranged chronologically (1910-24; 1916-33; 1924-34) and thematically (e.g., "Futurist Poets and Painters," "Constructivist Graphic Design," and "Photography and Photomontage"). The essays and section introductions treat Futurism, Primitivism, Seprematism, and Constructivism in turn--but all include mention of one of these books' most common features: a tendency toward collaboration among visual and textual contributors, and a resulting unity of concept.
