Nola:
Add to that the number the lack of art librarians and art library directors
of color, the lack of sizeable materials in archives devoted to
underrepresented groups, the lack of archivists of color, also the
format-artists of color haven't been readily introduced to this art form--so
naturally, artists' book collections are lacking in materials from
underrepresented groups-it is just the nature (so far) of the beast. But
there are some notable artists and publishers who are changing this little
by little...Lorry Saucedo, Carolee Campbell (Ninja Press) has an excellent
book by Chicano artist Jose Montoya, Albert Chong, Amos Paul Kennedy, and
Marta Gomez are some the people that come to mind-perhaps ARLIS-L members
can suggest others. I also highly recommend Nexus Press and works by
international artists such Codex aeroscriptus Ehrenbergensis : a visual
score of iconotropisms by Mexican artist Felipe Ehrenberg and works by
Enrique Chagoya.

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Artists Book Collection:- Underrepresented Artists - A
Request
Good day all. I am a current doctoral student with the University of
Wisconsin-Madison School of Library and Information Studies. I am performing
an independent study project with the Kohler Art Library (UW-Madison) that
concerns the development of their artists book collection in terms of
underrepresented artists (i.e. African American, Asian American, Latino/a,
and Native Americans, etc.). I would like to request your assistance in
identifying recommended names and/or specific artist books by
underrepresented artists, as well as resources on the topic. Any assistance
would be greatly appreciated. Please send responses directly to me at
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> . Thank you for your
consideration of this request.
