Content:
The artist's book is an icon and cult object in art and library history. Based on one of the most comprehensive collections of artists' books in Switzerland, the Swiss National Library, this publication uses 112 interviews to show the Swiss "Artists' Book" in an international context. Around 1,500 titles are listed, covering the development and importance of the phenomenon in Switzerland in a period from the early medieval illuminated codices or since the cave paintings created 30,000 years ago, through ephemera to the current fanzine. With Schweizer Künstlerbücher – Livres d'artistes suisses – Libri d'artista svizzeri – Swiss artists' books, a unique encyclopaedic compendium of artists' books is available for the first time.
