London Art Book Fair at the Whitechapel Gallery
For those who love Books…
All the big art publishing houses such as Phaidon, Thames & Hudson, Phaidon, Koenig, Four Corners Books and about 80 others, will be exhibiting at a new art book fair launching in London in September.
The London Art Book Fair is designed by a team led by Alasdair Willis from Established & Sons and will take place at the newly expanded Whitechapel Gallery. Publishers, distributors, rare book dealers, galleries and small presses have all gathered together for this inaugural fair that offers a wide programme of talks, events and classes combined with book signings by authors and artists.
An exhibition by the Ivory Press created especially for the fair can be found in one of the top floor galleries. Stunning, large format, hand made publications are on display by artists such as Eduardo Chillida, Sir Anthony Caro and Anish Kapoor amongst others.
There will also be a chance to buy a wide selection of art books at fantastic discounted prices.
Gallery director Iwona Blazwick says: “London is the thriving centre of the art world, and the new London Art Book Fair is the chance to exchange and read about the latest ideas, as well as an unmissable opportunity to buy the most beautiful art publications.”
The London Art Book Fair runs from 25 – 27 September, 2009
