Artist Book Flowers I Have Known and the Secrets They Have Shared with Me Published
The publishing of an artist book is more an enterprise in support and consideration since most artist books are of a limited quantity and are sometimes one of a kind. In publishing Flowers I Have Known... we found a delightful approach to publishing as collaboration with the artist bringing a finished piece of art and us helping to figure out binding and replication. Since this was to be a limited edition in honor of Shakespeare's 400th birthday we had a tight deadline to meet so that Flowers I Have Known... could be exhibited in 4 places simultaneously. We were successful and the international exhibitions were a great success as well. Three of the Four books sold and this brought our second delight in publishing an artist's book--that the price is much higher then a commercial book. When we enjoy projects like these we rarely look at how much time we put into them, but with that being said we feel the prices paid were definitely of sound reasoning.
