The London Art Book fair 2011



 The Art Book Fair 2011 took place at the Whitechapel gallery last week-end. I went on the Saturday. It was busy and much larger than I expected, with artists, dealers, publishers and imprints showing on two floors.

  Items from the bookbinders' collective

Book dealer Josie Reed of Reed Contemporary books was very helpful, easy to talk to to and supportive of my upcoming book project. She gave me some good tips!

 I bought the "New Artisans" book from the Thames and Hudson stand

 The upstairs part of the fair was more interesting to me, as this was the floor with smaller collectives and more handmade works.

 I bought the "Unholy Libel- Six Feet Under" by Jake and Dinoe Chapman from the Gagosian stand.
A photographer's stand.

I had a good long chat with Scottish printmaker David Faithfull about his practice and how the fair was working for him.


David's items that were on sale for the fair. David was one of the few individuals who had a stand all by himself. A costly enterprise no doubt! But David told me it was worth it in the end for him because of the contacts and opportunities he made that week-end.
