The Target Report Releases September Deals, Court Filings, Closures (Includes Chart)
October 7, 2013—What is it about paper that adds perceived value to our intellectual and artistic pursuits? The appeal of paper as a medium for communication endures and often adds to the meaning of the words and images we print on that paper. This was evident during my recent visit to MoMA’s PS1 annex in Long Island City, NY. Thousands of attendees mobbed The New York Art Book Fair, an exhibition of more than 280 international presses, booksellers, antiquarians, artists and independent publishers from around the world. The “Book” was on center stage at this four day event, not for its content, rather as art itself.
