In 2006 we had a popular show in our Works on Paper Gallery called "Bookworks: Exploring the Book as Art". Now, it's time for a sequel. This exhibition explores the broad spectrum of the book as art, beginning with the traditional book format as collaboration between the artist, craftsman and author. But it also presents examples in which the artist manipulates the book format without regard for text or content. The works are drawn primarily from the McFarlin Library Department of Special Collections at The University of Tulsa.Wednesday, March 31, 2010
