About This Item
-Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco (28 Feb 2002)-. Exhibition / Collection catalogue. Second printing with revisions. 285x245mm 303 pages. Illustrated in 450 colour plates. Cloth. Fine in dustjacket. At the beginning of the 20th century, artists' books abandoned extravagant and costly editions in favour of aesthetic and technological experimentation produced through inexpensive photomechanical means. Designed for distribution to a wide audience and printed in large editions, these volumes were often bold, colourful and accessible. The Logan Collection, the best of which is presented here, surveys late nineteenth and twentieth-century developments in the genre of artists' books. Notable for its masterpieces and the superb quality of its more than four hundred artists' books, it provides the most comprehensive historical overview of the genre available today. Some of the most prestigious publishers of the 20th century - among them Ambroise Vollard, Albert Skira, Gerald Cramer and Iliazd - have engaged the imagination of the finest artists - among them. Picasso, Malevich, Kandinsky, Kokoschka and Matisse - to collaborate on the creation of the vibrant publications celebrated in this volume. We are specialists in Catalogues: Exhibitions, Auctions, Collections, etc., with a picture of the cover available on request.
