Printed matter, text and language were critical for the artist, who believed \"if you really want something, get it down in writing.\" A pioneer of the artist's book, Boetti used the particularities of the format to penetrate beyond surface appearances--for example in his legendary 1977 book \u003ci\u003eClassifying the Thousand Longest Rivers in the World\u003c\/i\u003e, which lists the world's longest rivers and their lengths in a deadpan attempt to order the disorderly natural world. This volume explores the development of a new concept of the book in Boetti's oeuvre, where reading and looking become part of the same aesthetic experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alighiero E.
