Pussy Eater, Deadly Friends, 2014 LAABF Fundraising Edition

As one of the world’s largest publicly available sources for artists’ literature, magazines and creative ephemera; Printed Matter, Inc. has a reputation for dedicating themselves  to the understanding and appreciation of artists’ books by providing a non-profit platform from which they can sell their works.

This commitment to providing an entirely free large scale literary arts platform, with a universally open submissions process, resulted in the creation of  the LA Art Book Fair housed within The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA with a sister fair in New York each spring.

With everything from catalogs, monographs, periodicals, and queer zines presented by the likes of AA Bronson and Philip Aarons to over 250 international presses, booksellers, antiquarians, artists, and independent publishers we’d say it’s a rather impressive place to visit. A guaranteed positive karma boost with something handsome to place on the coffee table afterwards – that’s a win win in our book.

Oh and there’s one off limited-edition artworks on offer too from the likes of Laura Owens, Jeremy Deller, Patrick Lee, and Parra. These editions benefit the fair, helping to ensure the event remains free. Show your support and buy online here.
