Richard Minsky: von Hess Artist-in-Residence Lecture
Join von Hess Artist-in-Residence Richard Minsky for a lecture as he discusses life as a book artist. Since 1973, Minsky has challenged the bookbinding establishment.
A traditionally trained bookbinder, Minsky focuses on making the book an expression of art, and has influenced generations of book artists to use the materials and structure as metaphors in their work.
Minsky founded the Center for Book Arts, an independent not-for-profit organization in New York City that is a model for similar facilities nationwide. His work is in public collections at Yale University, Victoria and Albert Museum, The Ruth and Marvin Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art.
The von Hess Visiting Artist Program in UArts’ Borowsky Center is funded through the generosity of the Richard C. von Hess Foundation. The Borowsky Center invites visiting artists to explore the creative potential of the offset medium. The Center facilitates image-making as a synthesis of hand-work, photography and digital imagery.
