Artist Books refers to a unique manifestation of the book as a medium. Unlike other books, like catalogs, that simply showcase art of another medium in a book, Artist Books are their own artistic medium.[1] These books attempt to question the very nature of books. The book is a rather illusive technology to define, but through their work, Artist Books attempt to raise important questions regarding what makes a book "a book."
