ARLIS/Midstates members:
This summer Flaxman Library received an unsolicited gift for our artists'
books collection from an artist in San Francisco -- a bound suite of 12
woodblock prints titled, "AIDS' Dark Terrain." The artist, Mr. Robin
Tichane, enclosed a polite letter and documentation of his work & intentions
with the book. Unfortunately, it does not fit the profile for any of our
collections. It's not an "artists' book" as we view it, but rather an
edition of artists' prints. We do not handle original prints as such.
However, the staff here would like to assist in finding an appropriate home
for this work. Mr. Tichane's letter states that he would like "at least one
copy of my handbound prints ... available at a public institution in the
midwest...." Contact me (or one of the other staff members here) if you are
interested.
