Book Art: Ido Agassi and Even Hoshen Press
Fine art books from Israel

December 14, 2009 - February 28, 2010

Ido Agassi and Even Hoshen Press of Ra’anana, Israel, will be exhibiting their handcrafted fine art books in the display cases at the GTU Library through February 28, 2010. Ido Agassi is a master bookbinder, printer, and publisher who, in an age of mass production, has returned bookmaking to a genuine craft and fine art form. His handcrafted, limited, and numbered editions transform classic and Hebrew literature into works of art.

From their letterpress and intaglio publishing house in Ra’anana, Ido and his father Uzi Agassi craft their fine art books, which can be found in libraries, museums, galleries, and private collections throughout the world. Hoshen Press is named after the twelve precious stones of Aaron’s breastplate - brother of Moses - as described in the Book of Exodus.
