Description:Catalog for the "Book Artchitecture" exhibition held at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Thomas J. Watson Library from March 5 - 29, 1985. The exhibition was sponsored by the Center for Book Arts. Curated by Richard Minsky. CBA has two copies.

"This exhibition contains work done during the last decade. The structure and form of the book are primary to the value of the works. Some, such as Gary Frost's 'Five Binding Structures' and Heidi Kyle's 'April Diary', are directly about forms as content. For others the choice of form relates to the contents or function of the book...Several of the works are accompanied by supporting material...In all the works in this exhibit we see the vision of artists who regard the book as more than a container for literary or visual information." - Richard Minsky, Curator
