[Rarebooks] FS: Artists Library / Terminal NY 1983 (1 of 125 copies) -- artists book exhibition catalogue

[Robin Bledsoe]

<>We are pleased to offer the following artists book exhibition 
catalogue, which is a scarce document of the burgeoning artists book 
movement in the 1980s.  It is not listed on our online sites. 

<>Artists' Library / Terminal NY 1983.   Curated by Paula Beardell with 
Norman Colp and Carol Bundy.  Brooklyn, 1983.    Number 28 of 125 
copies.   $150 (trade discount) + s/h

This show was part of the Terminal New York Show, held in the old 
Brooklyn Army Terminal.  "The Artists' Library has on exhibition 63 
books, unique, edition, and sculptural, by 29 book artists.  This 
catalogue, rather than documenting the show, is a collection of 
specifically designed pages by the book artists in the Artists' 
Library."  In other words, these art works are original and unique to 
this book, which was acquired at the time of the show.

 [29] leaves, some folding.  Chiefly illustrations, most black and 
white, which are reproduced by xerography, woodcut, rubber stamp, and 
other media.  The 29 artists include Hedi Kyle, Katherine Bloom, Conrad 
Gleber, Barbara Mauriello, Louise Neaderland, etc.  Softcover, fastened 
with screw posts.  Covers lightly shelf-soiled.  Lacks the back pocket, 
and the list of artists, addenda, and errata, which the Museum of Modern 
Art and the Brooklyn Museum of Art describe in their copies.  These are 
the only two locations listed in WorldCat.
