Artists and Their Books / Books and Their Artists
This stunning volume illuminates the current moment of artists’ engagement with books, revealing them as an essential medium in contemporary art. Ever innovative and predictably diverse in their physical formats, artists’ books occupy a creative space between the familiar four-cornered object and challenging works of art that effectively question every preconception of what a book can be.

Eyes As Big As Plates 2 Hb
* Second publication about the immensely successful project Eyes as Big as Plates* Photos from 15 different countries on four continentsThe ongoing photography series Eyes as Big as Plates by Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen started out in 2011 studying personifications of nature and folkloric explanations of natural phenomena.

To mark the project's 10-year anniversary, it also includes contributions from several guest writers and an extended field notes section revealing the behind-the-scenes action of each portrait.
