My Collection of Artist Books
Posted: March 16, 2013 Filed under: artist books, leeds artist book fair, printmaking | Tags: artist book, hand bound book, hard ground etching 2 CommentsAs promised, here is the first in my collection of artist books. It’s been fun photographing it. More to come soon.
1. “Construction”, by Thom Walker, 3 hard-ground etchings spread over 6 pages and hand bound in an edition of 12
This is one of the first ever artist books I acquired. ( We actually did a swap). I love the intricate, illustrative drawings, and although I have had it for a couple of years I only realised when I looked at it to photograph it that each drawing leads on from the next, and I always notice something new whenever I look at it.

A nice little book, such good illustrative drawing. How do we not see the plate emboss? was the paper trimmed inside the plate emboss? That is very interesting. hmmmm
Hey Charlie, plate emboss not seen as paper was smaller than plate – a ‘bleed’ print.
