Artists' books are a captivating form of artistic expression that blur the boundaries between traditional literature and visual art. These creations are typically handcrafted by artists who carefully consider every aspect of their production, from the choice of materials to the layout, typography, and imagery. Artists' books often challenge conventional storytelling and engage with the book as an object itself, pushing the boundaries of what a book can be. Their importance lies in their ability to offer a multisensory experience that invites viewers/readers to interact with the artwork on a personal and intimate level.
These innovative works are not only a celebration of creativity but also a reflection of the profound relationship between text and image, making them a valuable and influential part of the contemporary art world since the 1960s. Artists’ books at SCAD Libraries are part of a larger program of hands-on teaching materials in both Atlanta and Savannah. Learn more about special collections at SCAD on the SCAD Libraries website.
