An uncommon exhibition flyer for a display of bookworks at the Museum Waterland co-curated by Ulises Carrión and Juan J. Agius. Both featured their own works along with those of François Bouillon Axel Heibel Diderick van Kleef Federico Sanguinetti Ben Sleeuwenhoek Ad Gerritsen J. H. Kocman Tom Ockerse Gèza Perneczky and Pawel Petasz. Several examples of each artist’s work are pictured. All the works displayed were drawn from Agius’s and Carrión’s personal collections. This catalogue’s text written by Alex A. M. de Vries is in parallel Dutch and English. De Vries pointedly notes “Two book-artists curated and arranged this exhibition in such a way that you will not see much of the usual mania for conservation which is being practised in most of the musea. This means that you will be able to take the books in your hands…This exhibition proves that artists’ books deserve to be shown more often and on large scale. And in an adequate way. The actual treatment like that of conservators in musea who like to take care of books as if they were dealing with radio-active material does not satisfy. A book ought to be in the hand of the reader.” Fine and fresh copy. ⧠U. Carrión Quant aux Livres 2008 p. 210. unknown

A scarce exhibition catalogue dedicated to books with rubber-stamped illustrations curated by Ulises Carrión 1941-89. His introduction is printed in Danish and English: “Time pressures didn’t allow for a wide research but I believe that the show includes most if not all the significant artists in this field. Some available catalogues and anthologies have been included because they possess a reasonable coherence in character theme or intentions. These criteria rather than dictionary definitions were also applied when deciding what was to be considered as being ‘a book.’ The show includes quite a number of unbound works; in all cases however they consist of a series of loose works that have been put between the same covers and under a common name. Many of the included items were lent by Aart van Barneveld from the Stempelpaats in Amsterdam.” The exhibition featured the works of Anna Banana Luciano Bartolini Peter van Beveren Cozette de Charmoy Robert Jacks Ray di Palma Pawel Petasz Dieter Roth Ruedi Schill Gabor Toth Dick Walraven etc. A few of the pieces are illustrated. In fine condition. With the stamps of Niels Lomholt’s Lomholt Formular Press and the Other Books and So Archive on the verso of the first leaf. unknown
