The artists’ relationship with the book is as old as the book itself. The “book” is often just a conceptual reference used as a support for a specific artistic project, not reduced to paper and ink, but incorporating all kinds of materials the artist wishes to use. In this collection, which includes “independent edition” books – sometimes the line separating them from artist’s books is very thin -, one finds both single and multiple works, of various formats and sizes: books printed in offset, digital or moveable type; books produced entirely by hand or in which the artist had a direct intervention in their printing; books with print runs of up to hundreds of copies or just a dozen, or even special editions, or even special editions, accompanied by original drawings and/or paintings, engravings and/or serigraphs.
