About
Printed Matter is the world's largest non-profit distributor of artists' books, dedicated to the dissemination, understanding, and appreciation of publications made by artists. Through the organization's two non-profit bookstores and website, Printed Matter circulates tens of thousands of books and related works annually. In addition, the organization carries out a number of ambitious onsite programs, including regular exhibitions to explore aspects of art book culture through archival presentations, survey shows, immersive installations, and more. Printed Matter held the NY Art Book Fair in the fall of 2017. It is one of the world's largest gatherings dedicated to artists' books and attracts up to 40,000 guests over the fair weekend. Alongside 350 exhibitors presenting their publications from around the world, each event is accompanied by a multi-day conference, talk series, performances, and other onsite projects.
