I love the medium of an artist-book, because it is very unique and liberating. An artist book does not have a geographical location or opening and closing hours. Anyone can enjoy it wherever and whenever. Artist-books are intimate, one can almost feel like being part of them. Through opening a book, a viewer enters its universe. That is why artist-book making is so interesting to me, and an important part of my art-practice too. Here you can see 13 books and various special editions and printed ephemera that I have published so far.
Anouk Kruithof is a frenetic artistbook-maker and an artbook-lover.

Anouk Kruithof also collaborates with various international publishing houses.
