Abstract<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Interviewing artists, makers, and source communities has become a common conservation practice in museums and private practice though it is not as widespread in librar\u00adies and archives. The preservation challenges presented by the unconventional materials and techniques used in contemporary artists\u2019 books, however, might necessitate a broader adoption of this form of engagement. Information gleaned from artist interviews can help conservators to apply a values-based decision-making model when con\u00adsidering a work\u2019s preservation needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cArtist Interviews and Artist Books: the impact of art\u00adist interviews on book treatments\u201d presents two cases where interviews with makers played a vital role in shaping the approach to the stewardship of two artists\u2019 books held in the Special Collections at New York Uni\u00adversity (NYU) Libraries. One of the works, 20 Slices <\/em>by Ben Denzer, comprises individually wrapped slices of Kraft Singles American processed cheese; the other, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica <\/em>by Didier Mutel, comprises twenty-two aquatints printed on bound concrete leaves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Resumen<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Entrevistar a los artistas, a los creadores y a las comuni\u00addades fuente se ha transformado en una pr\u00e1ctica de con\u00adservaci\u00f3n com\u00fan en los museos y en la pr\u00e1ctica privada y poco extendida en las bibliotecas y archivos. Sin embargo, los desaf\u00edos de conservaci\u00f3n que presentan los materiales poco convencionales y las t\u00e9cnicas usadas en los libros de artista contempor\u00e1neos, podr\u00edan necesitar una mayor adopci\u00f3n de esta forma de interacci\u00f3n. La informaci\u00f3n obtenida de las entrevistas realizadas a los artistas puede ayudar a los conservadores a aplicar un modelo de toma de decisiones basado en los valores cuando se consideran las necesidades de conservaci\u00f3n de una obra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Este resumen extendido presenta dos casos donde las entrevistas con los artistas creadores tuvieron un rol vital para dar forma a la aproximaci\u00f3n a la administraci\u00f3n de dos libros de artista resguardados en las Colecciones Especiales de las Bibliotecas de la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU). Una de las obras, 20 Rebanadas (20 Slices)<\/em>, de Ben Denzer, consta de rebanadas de queso procesado Singles American de Kraft envueltas individualmente; la otra, Principios matem\u00e1ticos de la filosof\u00eda natural (Phi\u00adlosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica)<\/em>, de Didier Mutel, est\u00e1 formada por 22 aguatintas impresas en hojas hechas de concreto y encuadernadas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
