Arts Library Artist Book Hour

Join us at Haas Arts Library for a peek at artist books from Arts Library Special Collections! Frances Osugi will join us to highlight handmade paper found in artist books.

The term “artist book” can be hard to define. Simply put, an artist book is an art object inspired by the form and/or function of a conventional book. Haas Arts Library has thousands of artist books in its special collections. During this lunchtime session, library staff will showcase a few recent acquisitions. Feel free to drop in anytime during the hour.

This event will recreate the tradition of the festive poetic gathering, familiar from a range of different cultural contexts, as a final celebration of Yale Library’s 2022-23 Model Research Collection, “Lyric Thinking: Poetry in the World.”
