75 Artist Books

Since founding the Kaldewey Press in rural Poestenkill, NY, in 1985, Gunnar A. Kaldewey has produced exactly seventy-five artist books in limited editions, some of them written and designed by Kaldewey himself. While few small presses have managed to produce such a large body of work, the Kaldewey Press has earned the reputation as one of the world's finest publishers of contemporary artist books. In this abundantly illustrated catalogue raisonné, collector and Kaldewey devotée Clemens von Lucius presents in detail all seventy-five books published to date, accompanied by individual descriptions of each title, an introductory essay describing the design process, and an interview with the publisher himself.
