The London Art Book Fair 2009
With up to 40% off publications, the inaugural London Art Book Fair offered the opportunity to buy the best art books at amazing prices. The inaugural Fair hosted 90 publishers from the UK and abroad, and featured a host of special events including artists' talks, signings, performances and discussions.
An exhibition by the Ivory Press, created especially for the Fair, presented outstanding publications by Eduardo Chillida, Sir Anthony Caro, Anish Kapoor, Richard Long, and Richard Tuttle among others.
The Fair itself was designed by a team led by Alasdhair Willis, Established & Sons, and Farshid Mousavi, Foreign Office Architects.
