"An Exhibition of Artists' Books and Multiples from the Permanent Collection of Art Metropole. LEARN TO READ ART is an exhibition of 287 published works by artists from the postwar period to the present. Although the contemporary artist's book emerged early in the twentieth century, it was not until the sixties that it came into its own as a medium ideally suited to the needs of Fluxus and Conceptual artists of the period thus our exhibition picks up this thread of history in the postwar years and follows it into that period of intense evolution which was the sixties and early seventies." ?- AA Bronson, General Idea, from introduction.

"The tripartite catalogue Sonskeek [sp] ''72 arose from the notes and photos we made of a project that we executed during the period November ''71 - June ''72. What was the starting point of the project? Of all the Sonsbeek exhibitions in ''49- ''52- ''55- ''59 and ''66 one could or one can find back all the sculptures; although not in the original place, in the park, they are to be seen somewhere. Yet the transiency of the projects and objects as exposed during the manifestation ''Sonsbeek buiten de perken'' for us was a reason to trace back what happened to these projects and objects. Doing this we considered ourselves as visitors who came after the closing of the manifestation. We visited the original place of the object/project, made photographs and described it and did so with the present place as well. E.g. from the gigantic wedge by Ronald Bladen at the place in park Sonsbeek hardly anything could be found, except a slight difference in colour of the pavement. The wedge itself we discovered in pieces against the wall of a shed of a firm in Arnhem. Most of the projects and objects we also found back in totally different state: at rubbish dumps, on heaps of scrap- iron, dismantled and packed in boxes, in peoples homes on the cupboard. In some cases nothing was to be found back. We sent a stencil to the 35 filmmakers asking them to send a photo and a description of the present place of their films. Description and photo were their part in our project, the original place always being the place at the lawn where in a tent the films have been shown, during the manifestation. From some filmers we didn?t get an answer within a certain period, then the second card is dropped out. Some artists played a part by the publication they got in one of both Sonsbeek cataloques. When their project had a relation with a location, we visited it and made a photo, if not, we reproduced the concerning pages out of the cataloques. The definite form of the three booklets as they now appear, is the result of collecting and combining the 360 cards on one side a photo, on the other side the description. We thank everyone who helped us to realize this project." -- Paul Bonger and Rick Vermeulen from book''s English introduction. Good. Curl to bottom right quadrant of the three volumes.

240 pp.; 22.5 x 20.5 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed "This book does not aim at being an objective and general analysis of the phenomenon of art or life, but is rather an attempt to flank (both art and life) as accomplices of the changes and attitudes in the development of their daily becoming. This book does not attempt to be objective since the awareness of objectivity is false consciousness. The book, made up of photographs and written documents, bases its critical and editorial assumptions on the knowledge that criticism and iconographic documents give limited vision and partial perception of artistic work. The book, when it reproduces the documents of artistic work, refutes the linguistic mediation of photography. The book, even though it wants to avoid the logic of consumption, is a consumer's item. . This book produces a collection of already old material. . In this book there is no need to reflect in order to seek a unitary and reassuring value, immediately refuted by the the authors themselves, rather there is the necessity to look into it for the changes, limits, precariousness and instability of artistic work." -- text from Celant's introduction "Stating That."

[350] pp.; 27.8 x 21 cm.; glue bound; black-and-white; edition size 1000; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Perhaps one of the most revered artists' publications of the 1960s, the "Xerox Book," published by dealers Siegelaub and Wendler is a xerox book in name only. Conceived by Siegelaub as an inexpensive artist's publication - each artist was afforded twenty-five pages [plus a cover / title page] to execute a site-specific project for the publication. The resulting projects were among the most important ever printed by these artists Carl Andre, Robert Barry, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, and Lawrence Weiner. When going to press Siegelaub discovered that xeroxes would be more expensive than traditional offset lithography so the xeroxing was forgone for reasons of expense, however, the name of the intended publication lives on.
