Artists' Books (as a movement)

Artists’ Books is a contemporary artistic movement where creators use books as a form of visual and conceptual expression. Unlike traditional books meant for reading, these works emphasize the book as an art object, exploring innovative formats, materials, and ideas. Artists often incorporate experimental layouts, typography, and imagery to challenge perceptions of literature and art. The movement encourages personal, political, or experimental statements, making the book a vessel for creative exploration rather than just information. It blurs the boundaries between fine art and publishing, fostering a diverse range of uniquely crafted, thought-provoking works.
