Fred Escher made five artists’ books across two eras: austere B&W works in the 1970s and surreal, color-saturated books in the 2010s. Both are emotionally rich, often humorous, and centered on the doubled self. His books—quiet, strange, and complete—are widely available and the strongest expression of his vision.
