In Multiple Discovery of Artists' Books Rosemarie Tonk
looks at the development of artists' books as artistic
expression in regions beyond the movement's current
primary centres of practice of North America, parts
of Europe, and Australia. Drawing on the concept of
multiple discovery the author investigates artists' books
and book makers in four non-Western regions: Japan,
India, South Africa, and Latin America. The discussion
highlights the universality of the book as an international
medium of artistic expression.
