Artist's books are unique works of art that combine visual art and literature, often created by artists to express their ideas in a book format. Unlike traditional books, which are primarily for reading, artist's books emphasize the physical form, design, and materials used, making them a medium for artistic expression. They can include various techniques such as painting, photography, and printmaking. These books can be one-of-a-kind or produced in limited editions, and they often challenge conventional notions of what a book can be. Conceptual art, bookbinding, and printmaking are common elements in artist's books, allowing artists to explore themes and narratives in innovative ways.
