Artists' Books and Independent Publishing Fair
22 May - 23 May 2010

Artist-led publishing is becoming ever more popular and diverse.
There is a long tradition of artists producing books, from William Blake in the 18th century, to avant-garde artists throughout the 20th century. Artist-led publishing is becoming ever more popular, with contemporary artists broadening the term artists' books to include zines, multiples and ephemera.

Join us for our first Artists' Books Fair, where you will be able to choose from a huge range of affordable books, zines, and multiples by artists and independent publishers from across the UK and Europe, including:
