The Artist's Book in California: Part 1, Northern CaliforniaAnatomy
(1997) illustrations and binding by Coriander Reisbord; The elegant structure, incorporating transparent vellum and evocative red past paper, merges perfectly with the content of this book of poetry - written by a physician - which describes various anatomical systems of the human body. This is certainly the most traditional book in the show, but its heightened utilization of form/content elements, including reduction linocut illustrations of microscopic images, brings it into the realm of the artist's book.
