Ditta Baron Hoeber: Works

This exhibition, in McCabe's Cratsley Lounge until March 31, features artists’ books in our collection by Philadelphia-based artist Ditta Baron Hoeber. Hoeber writes about her use of artists' books as a medium, “Looking at my work in/as a book allows you to experience the materiality of the paper and the unglazed print, the silence of the space between images, and the intimacy of engaging with the content of the work.”
