Limited editions of fine-art books that feature quality production and showcase the talent of writers and illustrators have traditionally been published for a select audience. Since the 1960s, self-published books sprouted into this domain with artists such as Warhol, Ruscha, and Lewitt lending credit to the form as a part of pop culture. Recent technical developments have resulted in a variety of production possibilities, and the phenomenon of artists' books continues to evolve. Examples are crisply presented and described, including the book as a document, as sculpted sculpt v. sculpt·ed, sculpt·ing, sculpts v.tr. 1. To sculpture (an object). 2. To shape, mold, or fashion especially with artistry or precision: form, and as a computer creation. Processes, bindings, and construction features are covered. A very useful appendix includes ideas for exhibition and references. Reviewed by Rebecca J. Martin, art specialist, Oakhurst Elementary, Fort Worth ISD See IDD. . |
