Judith A. Hoffberg, Umbrella Associates
For 23 years the editor and publisher of Umbrella, a magazine
about contemporary art, and especially artist books and media art,
Judith Hoffberg, a charter member of ARLIS/NA and its first Executive
Director, is also a well-known artist book critic, curator, and
collector. The session will deal with the various approaches of
distribution of artist books to universities and colleges, art libraries
and public libraries, directly from creator to institution. Which
approaches are the most advantageous to the artists? Which ones
to the libraries? What are the problems, and what are some of the
solutions in expanding the audiences for this material by acquisition
of these bookworks?
Six consummate book artists from the Los Angeles area who are well-known
throughout the U.S. and abroad will address these issues, and bring
examples of their work to view during the session.
