This year’s NY Art Book Fair (NYABF) returns to 548 W. 22nd St, just around the corner from Printed Matter’s Chelsea bookstore.
Printed Matter’s NY Art Book Fair (NYABF) is the leading international event for the distribution of artists’ books, celebrating contemporary artists’ publishing and the medium’s rich history. The Fair is located right around the corner from Printed Matter’s bookstore and will feature a broad range of artists and collectives, small presses, institutions, galleries, antiquarian booksellers, and distributors.
Initiated in 2006, NYABF is an important gathering for artists’ book publishers to distribute their work, connect with broad audiences, and nurture new and longstanding relationships. This year, NYABF continues to be a vital platform for exhibitors and programs that are rooted in critical reflection, community, and free expression. The Fair offers visitors a unique experience to discover artists’ books and explore the full breadth of art publishing, with many artists responding directly to today’s challenging political and social landscape. As part of this year’s event, we are looking forward to partnering with neighboring organizations and galleries to present the full calendar of discussions, performances, book launches, and special projects that highlight interdisciplinary publishing practices.
