Blood on Paper: The Art of the Book

A new exhibition about the art of the book opens at the Victoria and Albert Museum today.

Blood on Paper will focus on new and contemporary work, and on books where the artist has been the driving force in conception and design. Admission is free and the exhibition runs until June 29th 2008. Illustrated here is Dante in his Study from Phillips version of Dante's Inferno.
