Artists’ Books from LRC Collection

An open book is in the background and its cover is in the foreground. The left book page features a print of three figures on a beach and the right book page has a blue, amorphous shape with wavy lines. The book cover is a drawstring bag made of striped blue and white fabric. On top, it has a pocket that holds a card which reads “the beach” and is ornamented with seashells.
Jul 9, 1990, to Jan 31, 1991

A light-skinned adult woman grins at the viewer, displaying a gap-toothed smile. She has chin-length gray hair and is working on a pop-up book depicting a tall white tower emerging from a white piece of paper on a cutting mat. Behind her are labeled bins of book art materials.

Sonia Delaunay

The first living woman artist to be honored with a retrospective exhibition at the Musée du Louvre (1964), Sonia Delaunay blurred the line between “fine” art and “decorative” art.
