The Museum of Modern Art Library

The Museum of Modern Art Library, in New York City, has a tumbler that posts holdings, some of them artist’s books or book arts related. Here are a couple I liked. The first is “Truism Stamps” by Jenny Holzer from the Steven Leiber Extra Art Archive.

And this: Some scans of the Art Metropole edition ScanOps by Andrew Norman Wilson. They are inkjet prints from a collection of “errors” that capture the hands of the scanners from the massive scanning project that feeds Google Books. Wilson compiled the images through browsing the archive of scanned printed books in the Google Books inventory. Here’s an interview of Wilson about the project.
