The Artist Book Foundation

Independent Press

The Artist Book Foundation (TABF) celebrates visual artists with exceptional books, public programs, and focused exhibitions

Working collaboratively with curators, scholars, collectors, and artists to publish a distinguished range of monographs, catalogue raisonnés, surveys, and exhibition catalogues, TABF books provide insight to an artist's work and creative practice through a lasting and vital document. TABF books are found in the library collections of major museums, universities, and arts institutions in all 50 states and in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. 

Central to our mission is the donation of our books to underserved public libraries and schools as well as prisons, encouraging wider access to the sublime comfort and inspiration of art. Additional information on TABF’s programs, book proposals and manuscript submissions, as well as a complete backlist, is available on our website.
