Vico's Spiral: Half Century of Artists' Books
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Center for Book Arts (1974–2024) in New York, ‘Vico’s Spiral’ reflects on the institution’s own exhibition history. The project highlights the innovation, range, and diversity of artists’ book practices over five decades, framed through a nonlinear view of history and revealing recurring ideas, evolving methodologies, and the continuous reinvention that has defined the field. The book features a foreword by Corina Reynolds and essays by Carole Naggar and Kinohi Nishikawa, plus an international directory of exhibitions from 1969 onward, as well as selections of influential artists’ books, compiled by curators, artists, collectors, and scholars.
Center for Book Arts promotes active explorations of artistic practices related to the book as an art object. Founded in 1974, Center for Book Arts (CBA) is the oldest non profit dedicated to uplifting and furthering the book arts & book art through education, preservation, exhibition, art making, and community building. The book arts inherently democratize the powerful media of the book by empowering people to harness the format independent from the exclusive commercial publishing and gallery industries.
