Autorretratos del libro de artista: los criterios de edición en la obra de Román Gil

Abstract

They way in which artists’ books are perceived depends, for the most part, on editorial criteria that accept the book as a bibliographical artifact which depends on the conditions of its typographical printing. However, if the book takes on its symbolic meaning, it may l ead to the reconsideration of the boundaries of the art-f orm itself, redefining the relationship between artists and spectators in such a way that a self-portrait of all of those involved can be configured.
