Ebb & Flow: Bookworks by Yoko Terauchi from the Research Library
The Sculpture Research Library on the first floor of Henry Moore Institute holds over 30,000 books, catalogues, journals and audio-visual materials dedicated to sculpture. Among them, artists’ books – conceived as artworks in their own right – form a distinctive and growing part of the collection, often developed through close collaboration between artists and curators.
This display focuses on bookworks by Japanese artist Yoko Terauchi (b.1954), which explore interior and exterior as a continuous plane. Terauchi works primarily with paper, across installations and bookworks, questioning fixed ways of seeing and categorising.
Five of her rare book works from our collection are presented in this display, alongside photographs of related installations (1983–2024). In these works, the book becomes an expanded sculptural form, collapsing distinctions between object, image and page.
