for Hobson, Charles, 1943-
Biography"Born March 1, 1943 in Bridgeton, New Jersey, to poet and journalist Mary Frances Hobson and engineer, inventor, and boat builder Charles M. Hobson, Jr....Artists' books are a natural meeting place for image and word. Because of this, I work with books, particularly accordion and other sculptural forms of books, which allow both an intimate viewing experience and a group viewing experience to take place. I've taught about artist's books at the San Francisco Art Institute since 1990 and became an emeritus professor in 2013. In 2007, Stanford University acquired the design archive of my work and mounted coordinated exhibitions at the Green Library and the Cantor Art Museum. The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco has thirty-six of my artist's books in its collection and in 2019 mounted an exhibit with a full-color catalogue...Since 1986 I have operated Pacific Editions, a publisher of limited edition artist books."--http://www.charleshobson.com/about.html
