The Swedish Bookbinders' Association is celebrating 40 years of the Master Binding concept. From March 27 to April 26, you can view the artfully designed Master Bindings in the exhibition hall at the University Library.
Championship ribbon 40 years is an exhibition of unique bookbindings belonging to the Swedish Bookbinders' Association.
In 1986, the association started the tradition of giving a talented bookbinder the task of binding a Master Book every year. The association chooses which book to bind and then gives the bookbinder complete freedom. The goal is to transform a book into a work of art.
Inspired by the book's content or something completely different, the bookbinder chooses the materials, style and technique themselves. Each book is made with great care and the exhibition demonstrates solid craftsmanship and professional skill.
Exhibition Championship ribbon 40 years was shown at the Stockholm Academy of Fine Arts earlier this spring and is now presented at the University Library.
We are very proud and happy to be able to exhibit the collection of Master Bands in its entirety.
