Das artes do livro ao livro de artista: a perspectiva histórica da tipologia a partir do seu contexto editorial

Abstract

In this paper is contemplated the history of the typology of books called the artist’s book according its editorial context – they’re objects that present artistic expressions through the support book. The pieces can be made in a book specifically or only with the sequential nature that the codex itself presents. A bibliographical revision was done to make a relation between the traditional book and the artist's book, their timeline, different supports, phases, characteristics and exponents. Also, about the artist's book, specifically, in the last chapter, there is the report of field research on the contemporary places where the typology can be found.
