I am looking for artist’s books by Native American Indian artists. Apologies for not clarifying that.

Hello Collective Wisdom,

 

I’m writing a short blurb about an artist’s book in our collection: Terrain: Plateau Native Art & Poetry by Joe Feddersen (2014). When I was doing research, I was struck by the lack of information I was finding on artist’s books by Native artists. Was this simply my poor researching skills or is it that there are few books in our collections?

 

If you have any knowledge about this – either from your own collection experience or from research – I would love to hear from you off line. If you are familiar with other Native artists who have created artist’s books, I would love to get their names.

 

This is obviously an area of learning for me! Thank you in advance.
