Clark Library Collections
The Clark Library does not, as a rule, collect experimental artists’ books, altered books, artists’ multiples, and zines as these genres are collected at other UCLA libraries, primarily the Arts Library, but also Library Special Collections. Of the few artists' books that the Clark Library does collect--based on topic or affinity with our other holdings--can be found works by Mike Taylor (Q d'etat, 2021); Kyle Goen's Black Panther Party Stamp Book (2022); Around the Corner by Ximena Pérez Grobet (Nowhereman Press, 2020); Clifton Meador's Phlogistan (2020); Sonia Farmer's A True & Exact History (2018); and in works by Jan and Jarmilla Sobota, Veronika Schäpers, and the Windowpane Press.
