Richard Nonas: Collected Printed Matter 1971–2020 is a tribute to an artist who has superbly captured the essence of the artist’s book, the poster and the invitation as well, by integrating them as symbiotic components into his artistic research; that is, a poetic narrative contaminated by those memories of landscapes and figures that have animated his personal history and that have never left him. This book showcases 138 records of artist’s books, catalogues, posters, invitation cards and ephemera (with an essay by Jan Meissner). Richard Nonas (1936–2021) was a major figure in American post-minimalism.
