The Century of Artists' Books

Johanna Drucker's “The Century of Artists' Books” is the seminal full‑length study of the development of artists' books as a twentieth‑century art form. By situating artists' books within the context of mainstream developments in the visual arts, Drucker raises critical and theoretical issues as well as providing a historical overview of the medium.
