\nFROM KOLAJ #22<\/p>\n

A review of a new book about artists who make books<\/h2>\n

Nothing feels more meta than a book about books, but that is very much what Artists Who Make Books<\/em> is all about, sort of. In classic Phaidon fashion, the oversized coffee table book marries copious illustrations with critical texts. The focus is on thirty-two \u201cprominent, international artists…who have continuously produced books as part of their broader creative practice.\u201d For the collage enthusiast, Artists Who Make Books<\/em> offers a number of opportunities to see how artists are incorporating the medium into their practice. A review of the book appears in Kolaj<\/em> #22.<\/p>\n
