8vo. stiff paper wrappers in a plain brown wrapper with the primary title printed in black. 20 pages (5 leaves folded once). Coordinated by Ilse de Graaf and Lara Frankena, this exhibition was held in New York from January 20 through March 30, 1996. Recognizing the potential influence of books in defining a person's gender identity and sexual expression, this exhibition of artists' books examined the relationship between the book and sexual practices. It also explored the diversity of contemporary sexual experience and the current attitudes towards human physicality, male/female relations, homosexuality, AIDS, and desire. These works assert the innumerable ways a book can express ideas concerning the most intimate aspects of an individual, as well as the larger political concerns related to sexual orientation and gender issues.

stiff paper wrappers. 12mo. stiff paper wrappers. 28 pages. An exhibition of 45 works by innovative French bookbinder de Gonet was held in New York from May 16 to June 16, 1987. According to Jan van der Marck in the introduction, innovation is a radical attack on the continuity of thought and action that distinguishes culture and informs tradition. There are two ways in which to detect it: by deduction and induction. The former requires that we search for a break in an evolving stylistic configuration much as we would for a stoppage of leak in a pipeline. The latter proceeds by the intuitive recognition of a sea change, and the ability to pinpoint evidence from clues. At first blush, de Gonet's ingeniously crafted or industrially produced covers resemble the lid of a roll top box or the dash of a racing car. These unsubtle clues that somebody is playing hard and fast with the bookbinders tradition are the unchallengeable evidence of innovation. Black and white illustrations.

stiff paper wrappers. square 12mo. stiff paper wrappers. 24 pages. This is a catalogue for an exhibition held in New York from January 14 to March 25, 1994, which contained the work of printers, bookbinders and papermakers who are all instructors of the book arts, as well as artists in their own right. Some of the participating artists were Marcia Ciro, Nadja Press, Peter and Donna Thomas, and Mary Phelan. Contemporary book artists have long appreciated the great value of learning bookmaking from an accomplished master of the form, yet recognized that the best teacher is not the one who merely has the technical expertise to create a well made object, but rather the artist who is able to reveal an original sensibility in his or her work. Though this exhibition affirmed a collective respect for the traditions of bookmaking among all whose book works are shown, it also demonstrated the power of the book to express the unique vision of each artist. These works were created by the craftspeople that link us to the history of the book as they inspire a new generation to define the book in their own time.
