Printed Matter presents the fifth annual NY Art Book Fair, November 5–7 at MoMA PS1, Long Island City, Queens.   The best part is that it’s free and open to the public!  The Fair hosts over 200 international presses, booksellers, antiquarian dealers, artists and publishers from twenty countries, offering the best in contemporary art book publishing.  It’s a truly great fair – I always leave with at least 4-5 books!

It’s not only a great place to buy and learn about new art publications but there are tons of events from screenings, book signings, and performances.  Other events also include the third annual Contemporary Artists’ Books Conference, and The Classroom, a curated series of informal conversations between artists, together with readings, workshops and other artist-led events.

You definitely do not want to miss this if you are in the New York area.
