Artists, Owners and Collectors

藝術家、票主和收藏者

There are three roles one can take in relation to bookplates, namely an artist, an owner and a collector.

An artist is the person who artistically conceives the work, decides on matters including the composition of the work and the techniques to be employed, and ultimately produces the work. Since bookplates belong to a type of prints, a bookplate artist is at the same time a printmaker. In a bookplate, the presence of the artist can be seen as the signature on the edge.

An owner is the one who commissions and initially owns the work. Through the process of commissioning an artist for a set of bookplates, an owner can communicate to the artist the request as in what to be included in the picture according to his/her personal tastes. The owner’s name must be present within the picture in a bookplate. Most owners nowadays commission bookplates for the purpose of exchange, instead of really using them for their original function. By exchanging with others, an owner’s bookplates would become others’ possessions and thus owners do not necessarily “own” the bookplates in which they have commissioned.

A collector is the one who collects and currently owns the work. Most bookplates can be collected through exchange with other collectors in bookplate events or private occasions. A collector’s collection should also include the bookplate in which he/she is the owner. Otherwise, works can also be acquired by purchase in places such as second-hand bookstores, art auctions, print shops and even online shopping websites.

The above three roles relating to bookplates seemingly have distinct boundaries which clearly separate them from each other. However, one should note that an artist can also be an owner and a collector if one produces his/her own bookplates for exchange and collection. Also, nowadays, a collector is often a bookplate owner simultaneously because one needs to commission works as their initial stock to exchange with other.

與藏書票有關的人士包括藝術家、票主和收藏者。

藝術家是在藝術概念上構思作品的人,不但決定作品構圖和創作技巧,並要製作出成品。由於藏書票屬於版畫的一種,藏書票藝術家同時也是一名版畫家。 在藏書票中,藝術家的身影展現於作品上的簽名。

票主是委托及本來擁有藏書票的人。票主在委托藝術家製作藏書票的過程中,可以根據自己的個人喜好要求作品的主題,而票主的名字亦必需出現於作品裡面。現時,大部分票主委託藝術家製作的藏書票並非實際地用在書籍上,而是用作交換。透過交換,票主本來委託的藏書票將成為他人的收藏,因此票主雖然仍然是票主,但不再是該票的擁有人。

收藏者是指收集藏書票作品及目前擁有該作品的人。大多數的藏書票都可以通過藏書票活動及在私人場合交換得來,收藏者的藏品亦應該包括委託藝術家所製的個人作品。另外,藏書票更可以在二手書店、藝術品拍賣會、版畫畫廊,甚至購物網站等渠道購買得到。

這三個與藏書票有關而又截然不同的角色都是獨立的。然而,一人可扮演多於一個角色,如果藝術家製作自己的藏書票以進行交換和收藏,他們同時亦是票主和收藏者。再者,由於所有藏書票收藏者在開始的時候,都需要委託藝術家製作一定數量的個人藏書票,他們才有作品跟其他人交換,所以收藏者通常也是票主。
