Multiple discovery of artists' books

In Multiple Discovery of Artists' Books Rosemarie Tonk looks at the development of artists' books as artistic expression in regions beyond the movement's current primary centres of practice of North America, parts of Europe, and Australia. Drawing on the concept of multiple discovery the author investigates artists' books and book makers in four non-Western regions: Japan, India, South Africa, and Latin America. The discussion highlights the universality of the book as an international medium of artistic expression.
