The sixth edition of Artistbook International fair,

will be held next October 19-21, for the first time in the Pompidou Center in Paris, confirming the importance and the recognition in Europe of this event devoted to

artists' books.

ArtistBook International is now the annual rendez-vous with more than thirty specialized publishers and booksellers from several countries. ArtistBook International was founded in 1994 to boost the visibility and accessibility of this production expressing great creativity and experimentation.

Artist book : a public art par excellence.

In recent years, artists' books have become a subject of interest for new generations of artists who are once again taking ownership of the medium, attracted by its more modest, pragmatic nature.This has boosted vitality and artistic relevance.

It would seem that the artist's book is once again becoming a platform for the avant-garde in the international

cultural landscape.
