Abstract

<p>The 1960s was a period in which Conceptual art developed rapidly and numerous artworks based on letters and typographic symbols started appearing in European, North American and East Asian countries. Some artists, who have made an extensive use of words in their artworks, have developed their means of expression in the form of books called artists’ books. However, along the history of typography, which developed from letterpress printing and lithographic printing technology, the work of Conceptual artists have not usually received much attention. This tendency to ignore the very raison d'être of these artworks due to the so-called “reproduction technology" has influenced the divergence between Conceptual art and typography. In this article, I have first dealt with the definitions of terms Conceptual art and typography. Subsequently, I have analyzed the printed expressions in artists’ books created in the 60's and 70's from a typographic perspective and I have focused on the significance of artists’ books and book arts.</p>
