In Numbers is the first volume to address an overlooked art form that is neither artist’s book nor ephemera, but is entirely its own unique entity: the artist’s serial publication. Across such groundswell moments as the small press boom of the 1960s, the correspondence art movement of the early 1970s and the DIY zine culture of the 1980s and early 1990s, artists have seized on magazine and postcard formats as forms in themselves. Dating from 1955 to the present, In Numbers begins with Wallace Berman’s Semina and shows contemporary examples such as North Drive Press, LTTR and Continuous Project by documenting the history of each publication—its inception, production, distribution and impact—together with a fully illustrated bibliography for each title.
