Artist books are unique works of art that combine visual art and literature. They can take many forms, including handmade books, printed editions, or digital formats. These books often reflect the artist's personal vision and may include illustrations, photographs, or experimental layouts, making them a medium for creative expression. Unlike traditional books, which primarily focus on storytelling or information, artist books emphasize the artistic process and the physicality of the book itself. They are often produced in limited editions and can be collected as art pieces. Notable examples include works by Ed Ruscha and Yoko Ono.
