RE: My previous query a week or so ago to the list asking about a comprehensive list of artists books collections due to questions by artists looking for venues in which to donate or sell their work: ...Well, it appears there may be no current comprehensive list of artists books collections, but people sent in good suggestions for actual collections and possible resources. A number of us also keep artists books links or websites. I'm sure there are more out there. Maybe some of us need to get together and pool research efforts. In any case, here are the answers from the list (edited to essentials as much as makes sense). Thanks to all who contributed. --Artist's book yearbook contains a listing of collections and archives. As it is published in England this listing is particularly good for British collections but does contain a section for international collections also.It also contains all sorts of other useful information. A new edition is due to appear in September. ...AND the Tate Library (Sarah Bodman, Research Fellow - Artists Books Centre for Fine Print Research, UWE, Bristol, School of Art, Media and Design) ----The Tate Library (the Tate also has a collection policy written up for artists books)(Maria White, The Tate) www.tate.org.uk --Atlanta College of Art at SCAD (Savannah School of Art and Design)Library Ray Smith --Artist Book News...the best and cheapest way to reach all the library buyers of Artist books is to put their book in the Artist Book News. I am just starting to work on the Fall issue, and have still have 4 spaces left. So please let your interested artists know All the information for artists is on my web site at http://www.mysticalplaces.com/abnews.html (Jill Timm, Mystical Places Press) --University of Arizona We have approximately 700-800 artists books. Also the Phoenix Public library collects them (Paula Wolfe) --Am not aware of such a list; however, in the Midwest, large collections are at the FA Library, Indiana University, Univ. of WI, Madison, Univ. of Iowa, Herron School of Art Library/IU Indianapolis Campus, and the AIC/Flaxman Art Library. (BJ Irvine) --...have never found one definitive list. I've thought of starting a running list. I found this online some time ago and thought it would make a good starting point. It is not complete, but here you go: http://edisk.fandm.edu/louise.kulp/notablecoll.html P.S. Have you tried contacting a local book arts center and see if they have any listings? I am originally from Minnesota and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts in Minneapolis has many resources available for those interested in book arts. Just another thought. (Greta Bahnemann, Cornell) --as far as I know there is no comprehensive list. I'm a book artist and from time to time search library web sites for this information, it usually means going through several links to 'special collections' or 'rare books'and sifting through the text or using search for references to artists books. I find that my books are not always bought specifically for Artists Book Collections. Depending on the subject matter, they may go to collectors of Children's books, illustrated books, miniature books, Shakespeare, fine printing collections and so on. For this reason I like to check each library's site, and even then they don't always go to the right person as some sites don't give information about individual staff responsibilities. Some lists I came across: Some lists I came across: http://www.bookarts.com/Directory/8libraries.html http://www.bookarts.com/Directory/8libraries.htmlhttp://dmoz.org/Reference/L ibraries/Special_Collections/ Book artists of the conceptual ilk should check out www.bookarts.uwe.ac.uk as there are very often references to libraries, exhibitions and collections. This is a very active and cutting edge organization promoting and reporting on the current vogue for conceptual artists books and installations; although it is based in the UK, it is international in flavour. (Jan Kellett De Walden Press) --Jeffrey Weidman (The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art) keeps bookmars foe; ---Speaking for my own (the Art Gallery of Ontario, the leading contemporary art museum up here), we'd very much appreciate inclusion on your student's distribution list. We have a growing collection (several thousand artist books and small multiples) from which we regularly create popular mini-exhibitions, and which are used by students and special interest groups like Canadian Bookbinders and Book Artists Guild.The other two organizations are: Library, National Gallery of Canada, P.O. Box 427, Station A, Ottawa, Ontario K1N 9N4, Canada; and, Library and Archives, Banff Centre, Box 1020, Station 43, Banff, Alberta T0L 0C0, Canada.
