Further information:
"This Exhibition attempts to survey the many different types of books made by artists from 1960 to the present [1973]. For the purpose of this Exhibition the definition of "book" is very flexible. If the artist conceived his work as a book, I have generally accepted his position." Dianne Perry Vanderlip (from the Foreword) The exhibition showed at two venues: Moore College of Art, Philadelphia PA 23 March – 20 April 1973 University Art Museum, Berkeley University of California, Berkeley CA 16 January – 24 February 1974 The catalogue includes two essays: "Slices of Silence, Parcels of Time: The book as a portable sculpture" by Lynn Lester Hershman. "Some Thoughts on Books as Art" by John Perreault.
