In fall of 2013, Johanna Drucker presented a Visiting Artist lecture in correlation with with the CBPA Gallery exhibition DRUCKWORKS: 40 Years of Books and Projects by Johanna Drucker. The retrospective exhibition ran from September 6–December 7, 2012, and included her books, graphic art, and visual projects.

On Thursday, November 8, artist, scholar, and critic Johanna Drucker addressed her lifelong engagement with the artist’s book, from early unique books and letterpress editions to more recent offset, print-on-demand and digital projects.

A full length catalog was published to accompany the retrospective. It features commentary and essays by over twenty critics, scholars, and artists including Jerome McGann, Marjorie Perloff, Susan Bee, Emily McVarish, Brad Freeman, Kyle Schlesinger, Craig Dworkin, and others.
