Title: Thinking Print: Books to Billboards, 1980-95
Description: New York, The Museum of Modern Art / Harry N. Abrams, 1996. Hardcover. Black & BW illus. boards, 160 pp. BW & color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 1996 exhibition that "explores the role of prints, deluxe illustrated books, inexpensive artist's books, and editional multiples in contemporary art over the fifteen-year period between 1980 and 1995. Since this is the recent past, one could argue that a reasoned perspective on it is impossible. But many viewers will remember those years well. [This book] sets out to present a broad range of artworks within meaningful contexts, with the hope of providing a forum for discussion, assessment, and new ideas on the art of our own time." (preface). VG: Exlibrary book. Sticker at the base of the spine. Stamp on top text block. Stamp on title page. Stamp, sticker, and due date card on back pasted end page.
