In 2010, the Athenaeum published a booklet exploring the library’s complete collection of artist’s books by the much heralded contemporary artist Ed Ruscha. A second booklet focusing on the Athenaeum’s complete collection of Ida Applebroog’s artist's books was published in 2011. The third booklet on Allen Ruppersberg was published in 2012 and the fourth and fifth booklets (on John Baldessari and Bruce Nauman) were published in 2013. In 2016, the booklet on Roberta Allen’s complete collection was published, followed by booklets on Allan Kaprow and Mel Bochner in 2018. Currently a booklet on Sol LeWitt and a second edition of booklet on Ed Ruscha are in process. All booklets—catalogues raisonnés—are sent out to a list of national and international institutions interested in artists’ books.
