| ARTBOOK @ FAIRS ARTBOOK Installations, Pop Up Stores, and EventsCreative installations, collaborations and events with artists and designers are a hallmark of ARTBOOK's approach to art fairs and bookstores. Perhaps our most extraordinary installation was designed by Vito Acconci, with the sponsorship of Jeffrey Deitch, for The Armory Art Fair in New York, 2007. Cited in the media as one of the highlights of the entire Fair, Acconci's Open Bookstore installation consisted of die cut and folded plastic shapes suspended from the ceiling.

Artbook at Visionaire, 2005. In 2012, ARTBOOK invited Icelandic artist Katrin Sigurdardottir to collaborate on our booth. Sigurdardottir designed a half-jacket (belly-band) to be wrapped around every book in our booth. Visitors to the fair who purchased a book thus received a limited edition by Sigurdardottir, Iceland's 2013 representative for the Venice Biennale. Above, John Waters browsing.
