MMU - Special Collection

 

Some time ago, Graphic, Photography & Art Foundation students went on a visit to Manchester Uni to have a peek into their 'book cupboard' (*) As I didn't go on this visit, I can't really comment on all the wonderful, amazing, gorgeous Artist books I can see from these photos!! Apart from to say.....Why? Why did I not go on this visit! Doh! Next time, I will be first on the coach.....

 

Check out these photos, (I stole them from Debs Ipad.)

 

 

 

These 3 are my favourite....I have no idea who has made this beautiful book, but I would just like to say wow!

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently, Sophie & Debs had to drag the students out to get the coach home!

 * Artists' books in the collection demonstrate the artist's experimentation with the book form.
   Book Design celebrates the finely printed and illustrated book.
