Printed Matter, Inc.

About
Founded in 1976, Printed Matter, Inc. is the world’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination, understanding and appreciation of artists’ books and related publications. First established in Tribeca by a group of individuals working in the arts—among them artist Sol LeWitt and critic Lucy Lippard—Printed Matter was developed in response to the growing interest inpublications made by artists. Since 2015, Printed Matter has made its home on 11th Avenue, as a two-story bookstore that boasts a dedicated exhibition space. In 2004 and 20013, respectively, Printed Matter founded the NY and LA art fairs, which have become the world’s largest venues for the distribution, investigation and celebration of artists books and art publishing.
