Artists' Books from Postwar to Present

Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art

April 19-July 6, 2008

Add Review/Comment

In the late nineteenth century, publishers began to employ artists as illustrators. These books were often printed on fine paper and considered luxury items. Over the course of the twentieth century, artists expanded the idea of an "artist's book" to new levels. This exhibition will include books by artists such as Kara Walker, Stanley William Hayter, Jasper Johns, Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Motherwell, and John Baldessari.

    There was lots of things to do for every age. There were crafts, face painting, balloon animals, concerts and two egg hunts every half hour. There were also a few vendors there and plenty of chalk for the kids to color on the sidewalk. All of this in addition to just being on the beautiful grounds. We brought a picnic, made a day of it, and watched our two year old dance at the concert, hunt eggs and meet the easter bunny. It was a wonderful day and I appreciate all of Cheekwood's efforts. We'll be back next year! Collapse

    The scarecrows are all along the paths and range from fun and educational to quirky. One even has flyers that describe how to make a rain garden, while another is powered by solar panels. Look for favorites like "Scary Poppins" and "Boo-ciphas". Lots of fun! Collapse
