This is the catalogue for the exhibition of the same name held at the State Russian Museum and the Ludwig Museum in the Russian Museum. The text is in English and Russian. From the preface: " Mikhail Karasik is an acknowledged leader of the movement in Russian art known as the artist's book. This unique phenomenon in Russian art would not exist in its present form were it not for his vital contributions. ...Marking his fiftieth birthday, Mikhail Karasik analyses himself and, to a large extent, sums up his life. " In addition to the works on display, there is a listing of Karasik's Exhibitions, his works in Russian and Foreign Collections, and a Bibliography. A handsome and useful book.
