What is Book Works?

"The consistently impressive Book Works." Art Review

"The importance of Book Works as a structure cannot be underestimated. It is to do with consistency of presence rather than continuity of practice. A Book Works production always sits in parallel to other structures in the art discourse as a seperate yet crucial marker, shimmering between pure ongoing production and self-conscious artistic reflection" Liam Gillick

"More than any other publisher, Book Works' whole raison d'être is to explore the innovative possibilities of the book... they have had increasing reverberations in the art world." Blueprint

"With over a dozen books under my belt, I am hardly a neophyte with regards to publishing, however none of my previous projects prepared me for the joys of collaborating with Book Works." Mark Dion

Established in 1984, with the mission to disseminate visual art practice to as wide and diverse an audience as possible, Book Works is a contemporary visual arts publisher, based in London. In addition to our main activity of book publishing, we also produce text-based works, installations, multiples, videos and new media projects.
