PRESENTED BY LAMPLIGHT BOOKS
Dedicated Fair Bookshop
Discover a carefully curated selection of art books, exhibition catalogues, artist monographs, and independent publications at the Aotearoa Art Fair Bookshop, presented by Lamplight Books.
Located within the Fair, the bookshop offers visitors the opportunity to explore the ideas, artists, and movements shaping contemporary art today. Whether you’re looking to deepen your understanding of an artist you’ve just discovered, find inspiration for your own practice, or simply take home a beautifully produced publication, the Fair Bookshop is a destination for art lovers and collectors alike.
Why We Love Bringing our Books to the Art Fair Book Stall
“It is always special for Lamplight Books to curate books for the Art Fair. Such a great mix of people, from the artists quietly recharging among the art books, to friends swapping art gossip, gallery folk buying up before they head home, and those lucky people who bought an artwork and are looking for the book to accompany their piece home.
At Lamplight, we know that ideas around art deepen through context. We’re experts at filling the gaps in everyone’s collection, from the small pamphlet to the large volume, local publishers, through to our unique suppliers in the Netherlands, United Kingdom and America; we curate a place for ideas and beauty to coexist.
Not everyone can own a McCahon or a pigment piece by Lisa Reihana but they can have a coffee table version. After all, art belongs to everyone. “
