Making Silver is a new book conceived by Richard Tuttle (born 1941). Featuring new texts and comprehensive installation photos from his exhibition Slide (Bergen Kunsthall, 2012), it documents the five steel sculptures that Tuttle made on site in Bergen, as well as including full-color reproductions of 121 drawings. These "notebook drawings" cover the artist's entire artistic output of a single year (2010), and were exhibited as the front page of the spiralbound notebook, which was mounted on the wall with a nail, emphasizing the notebook itself as sculptural entity. The unique concept for the book―developed by Tuttle himself, who is celebrated for his virtuosity with artist's books―includes an inserted "book within a book," pop-out details and an extensive fold-out cover.
