Extra Art: A Survey of Artists' Ephemera, 1960–1999 surveys the neglected and important terrain of artists' ephemera, a category that includes exhibition invitations, posters, ads, stickers, buttons, and other miscellany. The catalog documents a remarkable diversity of works by approximately 190 artists from around the world.

The catalog includes three essays:

"Art for the Occasion/Art de Circonstance" by Anne Moeglin-Delcroix
"Extra Art: Surveying Artists' Ephemera, 1960–1999" by Steven Leiber and Todd Alden
"Tickets, Trips, and Passports: Thoughts About Travel, Souvenirs, and Contemporary Art" by Ted Purves

With an introduction by Ralph Rugoff, director of the CCAC Wattis Institute; selected bibliography; and an illustrated list of the more than 1,500 works in the exhibition.
