Library Selection, an artists’ book 1998

By carlatsaunders

Library Selection

This Abecedarian or ABC book is an alphabet book made up of 26 words relating to wine. The unusual format is a wine shipping crate which I took apart and reassembled in a unique way. By stacking the panels that separated the wine I created pages to make up my dictionary. The TEXT, word and definitions are stamped on the wood PAGES.

A bottle of 1987 Trefethen Chardonnay in a stamped wood shipping container. 12″x13″x12″

    The label is a little torn up but the bottle of 1987 Trefethen Chardonnay is still there, hanging out in my studio.
