The artists’ books are a collection strength of the Australian Library of Art. The Australian artists' book collection is diverse. Examples include:
- Lyrical and poetical works
- Books with a sculptural aspect
- Works created using new technologies
- Books made from wood, handmade paper, textiles and stone
It is complemented by a small collection of international artists' book in the History and Art of the Book Collection.
Artists' books online
The State Library of Queensland has undertaken a project to digitise images of a selection of the artist's books in our collection. Artists’ books online has provided a great opportunity for us to showcase our artists’ book collection, recognised as one of the best in Australia. We have featured both Australian and overseas artists’ books from the Australian Library of Art which incorporates both the James Hardie Library of Australian Fine Arts and the History and Art of the Book Collection.
