Robbin Ami Silverberg

Robbin Ami Silverberg (born 1958) is an American/Canadian artist specializing in artists' books.

As a teacher, and a founder of both Dobbin Mill, a hand-papermaking studio, and Dobbin Books, an artists' book studio, Robbin has created great number of artists' books—both on her own and in collaboration with other artists, all over the U.S., Canada, Europe, and South Africa.

Early life and education Silverberg graduated from Princeton University in 1980 and began making her own paper in 1980.

Artist's books While many of her works look like traditional books, some seem closer to sculpture. Her artists' books take months or years to create and involve a laborious process of producing, authoring and binding each book. Robbin's showed one work, a series of postings she put out in the streets of NYC, in the 2010 group show called, "You Are Here → Mapping the Psychogeography of New York City", at the Pratt Institute's Manhattan Gallery, guest curated by Katharine Harmonatt.
