The idea of the book has a symbolic and cultural significance all over the world. The artists’ book is a relatively new artist medium that addresses so many concerns and issues in artistic production, many of which are particularly important in today’s discourse. This ‘new’ medium has its own complex history, which is older than the history of printing itself; it is about communication technology. The increasing activiy of book artists and the diversity of approaches are offering new views and changing old ways of seeing books. What this exhibit tried to do was display a number of American artists’ books that should begin to provide some insight into how different these books can be. Nearly every page consists of close to a full page rich color photo of a work.

On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Albert Bonniers Publishers, this exhibition focuses on their instrumental role in establishing a mutual relationship between artists and books. Bonniers Publishers, highly renowned in Sweden, often drew from the talents of Sweden’s most prominent artists to illustrate their books, book covers, and title pages. This book catalogs the 138 works included in this exhibition from artists such as Carl Larsson, Bruno Liljefors, Yngve Berg, Birger Lundquist, Isaac Grünewald, and Georg Pauli, to name a few. A perfect opportunity to view the talents of these superb artists in an atypical, but similarly intriguing, medium.
