The Exquisite Book reinvents the classic surrealist drawing game, Exquisite Corpse, for a new artistic generation. In these pages, 100 of today's hottest indie artists each adorn a single page with brand-new work, having only seen the page of the artist immediately prior. The result is a breathtaking visual journey with a roller-coaster narrative, each page wildly different from the next.

About the book:

Each of the book's ten chapters resides on a ten-page accordion fold-out that lets you enjoy the artwork in an interconnected stream, as it was originally created by the artists themselves. Let The Exquisite Book unfold as you discover new horizons in art.

Includes work from contemporary illustrators, indie artists, and cutting-edge creators such as:

  • David Shrigley
  • Jill Bliss
  • Henrik Drescher
  • Jordan Crane
  • Susie Ghahremani
  • James Jean
