From Introduction: “In this exhibit you will see how 51 contemporary Americans are changing the form and materials of the book to suit their personal vision. We call this work 'Book Arts'. In 'Book Arts' the container works with the content. The materials are tactile and often relate to the metaphor of the text. In some cases there is no written text. The book is then a purely visual, totemic or iconographic work, in which the image, structure and materials are the content...Included are full-color illustrations of the artists work, as well as a statement by each artist about the work (in French and English).
