An exhibition of selections from the Ruth and Marvin Sackler Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry was held at the Book Arts Gallery from February 6 to March 26, 1988. The artwork represented in this show breaks the barrier of traditional books, artists books and even the two dimensional page. The works of these artists and poets were grouped into the following seven categories of visual/verbal alterations: Hidden Meanings; Canceled; Cut, Torn, Crumpled, Perforated; Fragmented; Layered; Sculpted; Sewn and Woven. Illustrations are in black and white and in color. The introduction by Marvin Sackler describes the collection from which the works were selected and provides the background of several of the projects.

A large run of this deluxe periodical for bibliophiles was first published by A. Quantin in 1880 and later by Quantin with Octave Uzanne from 1881 to 1889. (Ulrich & Kup p.124.) A spectacular journal letterpress printed with many original prints bound-in. Artists include Jules Adeline, author of Les Arts de Reproduction Vulgarises (1894), as well as others. Some plates are reproduced in color. Filled with illustrations of books, book illustrations, bindings, portraits, and other subjects.

Part one of the first volume is bound in later cloth, part two is unbound and all other volumes are bound in period half cloth with leather spine labels and marbled boards.
