Baku. Victoria Dementyeva – APA. On February 2, the US embassy presented a collection of unique miniature books created by 40 American artists to the world-renown Miniature Book Museum in Ischari Shahar.

According to APA, Donald Lu, Charge d’Affaires of the embassy, formally handed over the collection to Miniature Book Museum founder and director Zarifa Salahova.

The miniatures – individual artworks that take the form of books – were displayed in baku in December as the US exhibit at the 4th International Biennial of Contemporary Art. Curators Suzanne Reese Hortvitz and Robert Roesch brought the works to Baku and offered seminars and workshops at the Azerbaijan State Academy of Fine Art. Miniature artist books have gained popularity across the United States, and many American artists selected for the exhibit were well acquainted with Baku’s Miniature Book Museum.

“The Miniature Book Museum is the perfect home for these works”, said Mr. Lu. “We are delighted that book lovers and art lovers from across Azerbaijan, as well as visitors from around the world will be able to enjoy them”.
