From Book to Book

Saturday we went to the Artists' Book Fair in Leeds. To then go and see  "From Book to Book" @ Leeds Art Gallery.

The images show rather quiet moments. Otherwise the exhibition situated in the main entrance gallery was very busy. It seems people enjoyed browsing and touching the book-works. So did we!

From Book to Book

Gathered together in the exhibition the books will present a consideration and celebration of the book and the connections from book to book. One of the 46 book-works displayed is Vice Versa.
