Gerda Ritzmann-Luger, 2011. Artist’s Book from the Triennial
When I was looking on such wonderful books, created many year ago, I was thinking about an artist’s books, about our time, about what new we invented in an artist’s book or in book layout… or we invented something new? Here, in this small exhibition of Treasures, I have found late artist’s book roots. Here I have found artists who created Book with Love, I found Book as an Art.
Dunhuang Roll, Buddhist Scroll, 800-900 AD
