Book objects

Scope note

Use for works of sculpture, usually one-of-a-kind, that look like books or incorporate books but that do not communicate in the ways characteristic of books, such as containing print or images, being experienced sequentially or in fragments, as page by page. For books made or conceived by visual artists, use "artists' books" or "bookworks."
