Binding Desire: Unfolding Artists Books
presents a sampling of works from
the Otis Millard Sheets Library’s Spe-cial
Collection of artists’ books dating
from the 1960s to the present. This
teaching collection is one of the larg-est
in Southern California with over
2,100 objects and it includes work by
such luminaries as Vito Acconci,
Joseph Beuys, and Ed Ruscha as well
as significant work from major pro-duction
centers like Beau Geste Press,
Paradise Press, Printed Matter,
Red Fox Press, and Women’s Studio
Workshop. A foundational strength of
the collection is its holdings of artists
books made in the 1960s and 1970s—a
time when this material was often not
collected by libraries or museums be-cause
so much of it was hard to de-fine,
catalog, and house.
