2011 Prize - 3rd Sheffield International Artist’s Book Prize

Exhibition dates: 11 October - 12 November, 2011



A book cast in glass, a book carved from wood, books made from plastic and mirrors, delicate books of hand made paper, a book in a matchbox, even a book made of pillows; the diversity of entries in the third edition of The Sheffield International Artist’s Book Prize far outstripped our expectations and the response from visitors was overwhelming.




This year’s competition, launched early Spring 2011, brought in over 170 entries from 22 different countries, including nearly 50 entries for the Student Prize alone. Books were submitted from five continents and included entries from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Croatia, India, Japan, Korea, the United States with almost 40 entries coming in from Germany and the Netherlands. The range of the books submitted was equally diverse: from hand etched plates illustrating unusual narratives to weird and wonderful fold-out offerings; books no more than an inch square to one that extends more than forty feet long); manipulated books made by delicately cutting and reforming old editions to complex conceptual conceits; books in boxes, books in envelopes and a book made of silk in an egg.
The full list of artists who entered this year is as follows: Klaus von Mirbach, Alex Blake & Sam Marsh, Sam Marsh, David Willis, Jina Wallwork, Thomas Fritz, Bryan Eccleshall, Bryan Eccleshall and others, Katherine Johnson, Lizanne van Essen, Joel Lardner, Jordan West, Stephen Kirby, Jean-Claude Loubieres, Marije de Wit, Frans Baake, ... and Kim Bevan, Astrid Beumer, Gralha Azul, Group Kinnari, Sanghavi Parikh.
