The Book of God. Signed and numbered edition of 5 plus 2 artist proofs. 36 pages. 8 x 10 inches in a layflat presentation. Richard Newton began making artists books in 1974. The early books used ink, or were created using a Black and White Xerox machine. Most of the books are one-of-a-kind. However, some editions exist; the largest being an edition of ten. The Book of God was originally created in 2008, and exhibited for Friends of The Book of Nails, a solo show at Future Studio, Highland Park, California. The original one-of-a-kind artist book is 42 x 36 inches, covered in fresh and artificial flowers and presented on a rolling display rack.
