From the Press Release – “The second annual fair of contemporary art books, art catalogues, artists’ books, art periodicals, and ‘zines offered for sale by over 120 international publishers, booksellers, and antiquarian dealers.”
I love art books and I love books as art. This is really the best of both worlds as far as art/books/book arts go, and it’s free to get in. Thats a great price. If I were in NYC that weekend, I would be there. So should you.
1 CommentThe 20X200 project has been gaining some press for the last couple of couple of weeks. Now in soft launch. One thing for sure is that it is hard to pass up a 16″x20″ Tema Stauffer print for $200.
You can even track the sales of various editions, wisely or unwisely each item shows the count remaining in the edition at the time of purchase.
Take a look at 20×200.
Leave a CommentAlvin Lustig gave graphic design a very good name. He was a true artist who believed that design was in fact it’s own art form, not just a means for hitting a sales goal. He embedded aspects of Modern art into his commercial graphic design practice in such an impactful and powerful way that his influence is still relevant today. Although he was a generalist, he is best known for his books and book jackets, magazines, interiors, and textiles.
Master Printer, Luther Davis at Axelle Fine Art, Brooklyn, NY. recently re-printed 4 incredible book jackets designed by Lustig back in the mid-40s for author’s Arthur Rimbaud, Gertrude Stein, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Franz Kafka. They are each an edition of 100 and they are only $100.00 each. You can get your very own here.
