This is the first book in a series of books to examine selected bodies of work by collage-based artist Todd Bartel. This volume offers a glimpse into Bartel's early collages as an emerging artist. The selected thirty-one examples were created during the artist's undergraduate years at the Rhode Island School of Design and the years prior to pursuing his MFA degree. The book was published on the occasion of the exhibition "Hey JoeÑAn Homage to Joseph Cornell" BigTown Gallery, Rochester, VT, June 13 - July 29, 2012.
