Catalog of one of the most important exhibitions on artist books, held at the Central Academy of Fine Art Museum in Beijing. Impressive in size and content, this book is the basis for art book collectors. ?I have long dreamt of holding an exhibition that would introduce the idea of international artists? books. While I had done a large number of book-related works, I had never heard of the form itself, ?the artists? book,? until the 1990s, when I worked as a visiting artist in the United States. . . . As digital publishing has rapidly replaced printed media in recent years, we have seen the rise of the electronic book. Consequently, the artists? book becomes more than mere reading material; it maintains the cultural dignity of books. We are actually experiencing the transformation of reading material, in which books may be transmuted into pure art or a symbol of art.? ?Xu Bing
