Artist's book - Wikipedia. Artists' books (or book arts) are works of art that utilize the form of the book.
They are often published in small editions, though they are sometimes produced as one-of-a-kind objects. Overview[edit] Artists' books are books or book-like objects over the final appearance of which an artist has had a high degree of control; where the book is intended as a work of art in itself. Artists' books are made for a variety of reasons. They are often created to make art that is interactive, portable, movable and easily shared. Early history[edit] What Is An Artists Book - Printed Matter. Printed Matter works to distribute and promote artists’ books to bring an increased visibility and appreciation to the field.
The range of publications stocked at the shop is a testament to our broad and all-inclusive understanding of the medium. Unlike an art book, catalog or monograph that tend to showcase artworks created in another medium, the term ‘artists’ books’ refers to publications that have been conceived as artworks in their own right. These ‘projects for the page’ are generally inexpensive, often produced in large or open editions, and are democratically available.
The book is a medium that allows an artist's work to be accessible to a multitude of people in different locations at any given time. The more copies produced the more widely the work can be distributed; it is this potential to reach a larger audience that lends the book its social qualities and increases it’s political possibilities.

Brief History of Artists' Books - Book Art Resources - LibGuides at Yale University. The first forerunner to contemporary artists' books is probably the British artist William Blake, who worked in the late 1700's and early 1800's.
Blake was a poet, painter and printmaker. He wanted to integrate his visual and written work. While Blake produced traditional format books, he was radical in his desire to integrate the text and visuals on each page. He developed a new printing method that allowed for this integration. [1] What is especially notable about Blake is his role as a predecessor of the sentiments expressed by book artists of the 1960's.
Blake was "seeking a means of bringing the production of illustrated texts under his own control so that he could become his own publisher, independent of commercial publishers and letterpress printers. " [2] This independence is key to the creation of an artist's book. While Blake seems a key figure in the history of contemporary artists' books, he is sometimes overlooked in critical or historical commentary on the book arts.
