Journal: March 3

Today was our last day to work on the Art Libraries Journal before the deadline. We had gotten the text into a satisfying place, but still had to finish the bibliography and get high-resolution images and in some case permission to reproduce them. I took these tasks on since David is working on an exhibition that opens next week. Particularly, we needed to get a color version of an artists’ book diagram by Clive Phillpot, the former MoMA Library Director and an artists’ book scholar (see below). I asked Jenny Tobias if the library had this document in its collections, and we didn’t, so she offered to email Clive directly and ask for it!

He responded quickly with two high-resolution color diagrams, and we discussed the article a bit. Clive gave us permission to reproduce it, but he originally said he wanted it to be listed as “no copyright”. We suggested using a Creative Commons license, but he wasn’t so sure about that, so we settled on the caption “Image Courtesy of Clive Phillpot.” It was great to be able to chat with an art librarian who has been very influential to my approach and interests in the field.

I was able to get some artists’ book cataloging done today for a few hours, though the article was my focus again. I sent our final draft to the editors at the end of the day for approval. We’re really looking forward to seeing it in print. I’m also looking forward to the ARLIS conference next week!

It’s for research. Really.

I picked this up at the New York Art Book Fair
