Brian Dettmer's nickname - "the Ripper of books", his sculptures of the books are exhibited in galleries in New York, Chicago, London, Paris. Brian Dettmer is originally from Chicago, currently resides in Atlanta, GA. He is engaged in book-carving, using a scalpel, tweezers, scissors, book covers, and all its contents, and the result is modern art. For individuals it is certainly comparable to blasphemy - books cut, though antique, and the recognition Brian got in museums, galleries, where critics say that this is really an art.
