The Library of the Limerick School of Art & Design is delighted with the success of their special collection of Artists’ Books. Many of these Artists books are published by Coracle press in Co. Tipperary and are usually limited editions.
These books are not about Art, but rather Art expressed through Book Form. The collection is displayed near the main desk of the Library and all items can be borrowed for two week periods. The purpose of the Artist/writer is to involve the reader more completely in the viewing process by looking at how the text, the pictures and the physical form all combine to lend greater meaning for the reader/viewer. The traditional formats of books are played around with and the end results are usually highly creative. This collection is a welcome addition to the Art Library.
