2020–2021 ABOUT

Dear Friends,

The Berkshire Mountains are ablaze with color this autumn and the crisp air offers hope for a strong and vibrant perspective as 2020 comes to a close and an all-new year will soon begin!

At The Artist Book Foundation, we are deeply grateful to the artists who continue to inspire and drive the creative process with honesty and grit through the best and hardest of times. Their passion and dedication have not diminished as they thrive in the moment and rise up with innovative ways to communicate their art and ideas.

So, too, do we appreciate the industries that support them and us, with online sales of artwork and books for remote-learning students, resilient historians, and committed collectors. Most impressively, our print partners in northern Italy worked throughout the height of the pandemic this past spring and summer to deliver Glassworks: The Art of Frederick Birkhill. This premier monograph is made all the more beautiful and intriguing by the story—as told by the artist, the designer, and the pressman—that accompanied its production. Please take a moment to read.

The other publication that has ridden the pandemic wave is Figuration Never Died: New York Painterly Painting, 1950—1970, an exhibition catalogue for the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center that offers groundbreaking scholarship on this American postwar art movement. It is a long-overdue survey highlighting the under-represented, midcentury contributions of Robert De Niro, Sr., Grace Hartigan, Alex Katz, Jane Freilicher, Wolf Kahn, Anne Tabachnick, and others. As soon as the exhibition opens later this month, we look forward to posting a virtual tour of it on our website.

Last but not least, the work of Richard Segalman continues to grace our gallery on the MASS MoCA campus with Muses, Magic & Monotypes: The Art of Richard Segalman, an exhibition made possible by the artist and the Polk Museum of Art that mirrors the eponymous publication and focuses on the artist’s highly acclaimed print work. A virtual tour of the exhibit can be found on our Home page. With more virtual tours and artist interviews in the works, we look forward to staying connected until we can all gather again!

Until then, stay safe and be well.

Leslie Pell van Breen Executive Director ACCESS + EDUCATION + BOOK DONATIONS

In 2020, The Artist Book Foundation began a collaboration with Book Donations the six local high schools in the northern Berkshires to donate our complete catalogue of publications to each school library and initiate a discussion series with local educators to provide them with useful and versatile resource materials from our publications. We are delighted to report that this initiative was supported by the Cultural Council of Northern Berkshire through Mass Cultural Council, as well as the Ruth E. Proud Charitable Trust.

TABF is also a proud sponsor of the MASS MoCA Teen Invitation- al, a program in which students submit artwork to be reviewed by a distinguished jury and included in a main-gallery exhibition. We are excited to be part of this community-driven and culturally enriching opportunity for young people.

In keeping with our commitment to provide access to the arts, TABF believes in a serious and directed library donation program, delivering more than 15 percent of each print run to underserved Public Libraries Private & public, art, and university libraries in addition to other schools and 15.6% Charter Schools 15% correctional centers across the United States. While TABF has Museum & Public Schools always been dedicated to sharing books through this program, Historic Sites 33.4% during the summer of 2020 we donated over 140 books to six 21.2% different museums and institutions experiencing closures due to Correctional & Other Rehabilitation 4.9% the coronavirus. These offers were carefully curated to include 3.7% artist books that carry significant connections to the institutions College and to which they were donated.

The Artist Book Foundation believes books, exhibitions, and ed- ucational programs provide an essential source of knowledge and cultural vitality for current and future generations. In keeping with our mission to celebrate the lives and work of artists, TABF fosters and promotes opportunities to experience the visual arts.

Like many other cultural organizations, this year TABF was faced with adapting to these especially challenging times. Our current exhibition, Muses, Magic & Monotypes: The Art of Richard Segal- man was installed in our gallery just days before the pandemic required us to close. In order to share this stunning exhibition during the shutdown, members of our staff prepared a virtual tour of the exhibit that was shared widely online at no cost to viewers. Implementing this virtual approach in future will provide an ex- panded audience with access to the visual arts we offer.

Once we were confident it was safe to do so, we reopened our gallery to the public. You can now see Muses, Magic & Mono- types: The Art of Richard Segalman in person on Thursdays and Fridays by appointment or by chance. To schedule your visit, please contact [email protected].
