The Art of the Book & Paper

The opening of the exhibition of "The Art of the Book & Paper" at the Rochester Public Library had over 100 works on view. I must return to get a better look, but here are a few snippets. It was fabulously overwhelming, and the craft and artistry is superb. More ideas for more ideas.
 

Revisit a Book

I've added another work from the exhibit at the Rundel Library "The Art of the Book" because it is such a wonder in lightness and volume. The scale is large, and there are several works of equal size on view. The show is downtown Rochester, NY until January 9, 2019.

Art of the Book

At the opening of the "Art of the Book" was an international gathering of art made from books (altered book category) and book art (books from diverse media) at the Central Library in Rochester tonight. This collage by Gareth Fitzgerald Barry called "Narrative Portrait: Frederick Douglass" hit me.
