Artists' Books Creative Production and Marketing

A guide for the book artist – as the producer, publisher and distributor of their own artwork, to discuss some of the practical issues arising from this. A series of case studies explores artists’ experiences of making and marketing their books in the UK, France, Germany, EIRE, Spain, Denmark, Japan, Argentina, Australia and the USA. We selected a range of artists with 2 - 30+ years experience in artists’ books, zines and multiples and asked them to share their working practice, experience of book fairs, interaction with purchasers, discuss problems and offer advice. We also asked private and institutional collectors to tell us about the ways in which they would prefer to interact with artists selling their books and any issues arising from their own collecting.
