This weekend (well it really started last night, so today too) is the NY Art Book Fair, one of my favorite book events of the year. All different publishers from around the world come set up a table and sell their latest publications. Lots of events happen too- this year I saw on the list Gary Panter and Michel Gondry are both signing among lots of others. I am also really excited to see what this looks like in person. I’ll be taking pictures and sharing the best stuff next week if you can’t make it.

Also the following weekend Oct. 31st- Nov. 2 is the Editions | Artists’ Book Fair which I plan to check out. I haven’t been to this one before but apparently it is showcasing the latest in contemporary prints, editions, and multiples and has 64 publishers and dealers. There is also a limited edition lithograph they are selling designed by Marcel Dzama! And a screenprinting demo of ten portraits of Michelle Obama. Sounds like it’s right up my alley. For more info go here.
