From BravinLee:
BravinLee is pleased to present the second annual Artist Book Month. BravinLee has been exhibiting artist books forever.

The codex/book form FREQUENTLY reveals artists at their most unguarded, creatively extemporanious and authentically personal in which the page turner shares an unusually intimate sequence of moments, the layering of pages, the unpeeling of the artist’s skill and mutual obsession. Book artists and the handful of folks that observe and honor them are a breed apart.

We are honored to include a selection of books and photographs from our friends at the esteemed Ubu Gallery. If you don’t know who they are you should. Ubu Gallery has presented almost 100 exhibitions of 20th Century avant-garde art, with an emphasis on the inter-war period of the 1920s-1930s, particularly the Dada, Surrealist, and Constructivist movements. Ubu exhibits paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, and ephemera (books, posters, graphic design, etc.) and, wherever possible, highlights the interrelationships among these art forms. They are a well-known presence on the international cultural scene and enjoy a worldwide reputation for our serious explorations of areas covered by few other galleries, including acclaimed survey exhibitions of Polish, Romanian, Czech and other eastern European avant-garde art. Ubu’s focus on the avant-garde, particularly on historically important artists and movements that have not received appropriate attention, has earned the gallery frequent reviews in the international press focused on the visual arts.
