The Art of Typewriting, featuring work from the Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry, is now available from Thames and Hudson. I am honored to have work included in the Sackner Archive and to be included in The Art of Typewriting.
Siobhan (Grimké 1837) by Leslie Nichols is a part of the Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry
In this authoritative publication, the founders of the Sackner Archive of Visual and Concrete Poetry, the largest such collection in the world, apply their experience, mining the collection they have created over four decades to present examples produced by more than 200 of the world’s finest typewriter artists. From the early ornamental works produced by secretaries in the late nineteenth century to more recent works that consider the unique position of the typewritten document in the digital age, there is an astonishing and delightful range of creativity in every artwork.
The Art of Typewriting layout was created by London’s leading graphic design studio, Graphic Thought Facility, and each book has a cover with a unique combination of front and back image.
