New Foundation to Focus on Publishing Art Books – NYTimes.com

Art books, monographs and catalogs are essential for historians, collectors and artists, but they rarely make money. Often oversized and lavishly illustrated on high-quality glossy paper, they are expensive to produce for the relatively tiny number of institutions and individuals who buy them. Enter the Artist Book Foundation, a new nonprofit organization dedicated to publishing fine-art references that otherwise would not be seen. Next month, it will release “Trucks: Recent Works by John Himmelfarb,” to accompany a new traveling exhibition of that Chicago artist’s work that opened last week at the Brauer Museum of Art at Valparaiso University in Valparaiso, Indiana.
