About the Shop
We specialise in out of print, second-hand and rare books on 20th century and contemporary art, photography, architecture and design; including monographs, exhibition catalogues, artists’ books, private view invitation cards, ephemera, periodicals, prints, posters and original artworks.
As well as rare and unique items ranging from £10 to £3000 we always have a constantly changing stock of inexpensive publications starting at £1.
We are always interested in acquiring collections and single items of interest within the above subjects.
We compile, and advise on forming libraries and collections.
Some of our stock is available via www.abebooks.co.uk but the majority of our books are not online.
About Marcus
I opened my first shop in Maddox Street in 1991, specialising in rare books on modern art; followed by a five year partnership at St. James’s Art Books, Piccadilly Arcade. During that time I also organised the first London Artists’ Book Fair at the South Bank which then moved to the Barbican Centre and the ICA over a period of 15 years.
In 1998, in anticipation of Tate Modern’s launch in 2000, I opened the present premises at Bankside.
