Further information:
"Beginning in 1979, with the Artwords & Bookworks exhibition, at the Los Angeles Institute of Contemporary Art, that she co-curated with Joan Hugo, art librarian Judith Hoffberg (1934–2009) was a distinguished curator and critic in the field of artists books. Her understanding and appreciation of the role of artists books in expanding approaches to painting, crafts, printing, narrative, and sculpture; the major exhibitions she curated; and her longtime editorship of 'Umbrella' not only brought artists books to a larger audience but also — fittingly perhaps since she began working in this field through her participation in the mail art network — were a means of networking and communication for the artists who created artists books. In her own work she created both mail art and mail art installations, such as the collaboratively created 'The Umbrella Show' at the University of California at Riverside for which she received over 400 umbrellas and umbrella art from the mail art network." Judy Malloy, from 'Remembering Judith Hoffberg', (https://people.well.com/user/jmalloy/judith_hoffberg.html)
