Exhibitors will be selected by an advisory board comprising Marcus Campbell (rare book dealer); Tacita Dean (artist); Franz König (publisher & bookseller); Farshid Mousavi (Co-founder, Foreign Office Architects); and Soraya Rodriguez (Director, Zoo Art Fair) who will ensure the fair includes representatives of the most vibrant, stimulating and diverse art book production.

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.
