Book Art & Graphic Arts at Leipzig Book Fair
When books themselves become works of art, the world of book art and graphic design begins. At Leipzig Book Fair, artistic design, traditional skilled trades and experimental ideas come together.
The creative and artistically sophisticated Book Art section of Leipzig Book Fair invites visitors to browse and get involved, attracting numerous visitors every year. On display are artists’ books, drawings and prints, hand-press prints, and artistic book projects produced in limited editions using skilled trades techniques.
The Book Art section features art colleges, museums of printmaking and artists. Thematically, the Book Art section is closely linked to the Leipzig Antiquarian Book Fair , so that both sections are presented together at Leipzig Book Fair in Exhibition Hall 5.
