The New York Art Book Fair opens later this week at P.S.1 Arts Center in Long Island City. After last year’s overly crowded gathering at Phillips de Pury, we hope the change of venue lends to a less hectic visit. The weekend-long event plays host to over 200 international presses, booksellers, antiquarian dealers, and independent publishers, as well as a conference and several special events, including signings by photographers Ryan McGinley and Peter Sutherland. This year, Printed Matter curates a special exhibition of the books and posters of artist Richard Prince, from the 70s to today. We are also looking forward to Gallery 360’s project room, where they will present Japanese Pop, Then & Now, with works by Kiyoshi Awazu, Suzy Amakane, Keiji Ito, Erika Kobayashi, Yutaka Kuriyama, Keiichi Tanaami, Tadanori Yokoo, and Aquirax Uno. A preview night benefit takes place this Thursday and includes entrance to a party at Deitch Studios, Long Island City. Tickets(available via Printed Matter) begin at $20 and include limited artist editions by Elmgreen & Dragset, Jutta Koether, Tom Sachs, and Mungo Thomson.
