Marvin and Ruth Sackner
Join Marvin Sackner and Ruth Sackner for a celebration of the publication of their new book, The Art of Typewriting (Thames and Hudson). Marvin Sackner will describe the genesis of the project, the process of assembling the book and his wonderful discoveries within the realm of typewriter art.
The book presents over 600 examples of work produced by the world’s finest typewriter artists — from late 19th century ornamental works produced by secretaries to recent works of typewriter art — the book highlights the unique position of the typewritten document in the digital age.
Marvin Sackner and Ruth Sackner are typewriter art collectors based in Miami, Florida. Their Sackner Archive of Visual and Concrete Poetry is the world’s largest collection of its kind containing ten of thousands of works by artists and writers from around the world.
