Joshua Smith‘s Book Fair posters, seen on a wall near the entrance
It’s way more fun than a regular art fair, and you get to decide for yourself what to look at and how much looking you want to do. We previewed Printed Matter‘s The New York Art Book Fair last night (Thursday) and we can higly recommend the experience (available only through Sunday) to anyone interested in art and in the kind of people who write, edit, publish or just enthuse about art books. It’s a very mellow and happy crowd. There are events scheduled all day long. I promise you will be amused.
For more teasers, see Art Fag City.
