Artists' Books Collection Spring 2011
Granary Books is pleased to offer for sale a broadly representative collection of approximately 600 artists' publications spanning the years 1960-2010 assembled with an eye to an eclectic range of engagement with ideas and form.
In "The Century of Artists' Books" Johanna Drucker describes multiple "zones of activity" within which artists explore and interact with the book. She devotes entire chapters to:
The Artist's Book as a Democratic Multiple
The Codex and its Variations
The Book As Visual Form
The Book As Verbal Exploration
The Book as Sequence: Narrative and Non-narrative
The Artist's Book as an Agent of Social Change
The Book as Conceptual Space
The Book as Document
Key examples of each of these paradigms are here present enhancing and defining the collection's value as an important site for scholarly and artistic research, teaching and exhibition.
Among the dozens of artists included are:
Ida Applebroog, Eleanor Antin, Arakawa, Alice Aycock, John Baldessari, Banco de Ideas, AA Bronson, Marcel Broodthaers, Bill Burke, Coracle Press (including more than 100 publications from this important British artists' press operated by Simon Cutts and Erica Van Horn), Tennessee Rice Dixon, Henrik Drescher, Johanna Drucker, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Hamish Fulton, Philip Gallo, Ralph Gibson, Walter Hamady, David Horton, Shelley Hoyt, Susan Johanknecht, Robin Kahn, Shelagh Keeley, Ruth Laxson, Jean le Gac, Warren Lehrer, Sol Lewitt, Paul Etienne Lincoln, Richard Long, Little Cockroach Press, Ochiishi, Dieter Roth, Ed Ruscha, Purgatory Pie Press, Robert Smithson, Buzz Spector, Telfer Stokes, Michelle Stuart, Barbara Tetenbaum, Hans Waanders and Janet Zwieg.
