Text/Messages: Books by Artists

Examining artists’ use of the book as medium, material, and subject, this exhibition features works drawn from the Walker’s library and permanent collection. On view are deluxe illustrated editions as well as volumes that are sculptural, multidimensional, or made from unconventional materials. This broad variety of examples showcases a thriving area of artistic invention.
