A visual archive of art books distributed by IACK up to December 2019, offering a snapshot of recent tendencies in contemporary art-book publishing.

Art Books: 79 + 1 is a publication by IACK.

The book brings together photographs of publications distributed by IACK up to December 2019, arranged chronologically by year of publication.

More than a catalogue or design book, it functions as an archive of IACK’s activities while also offering a broader view of recent tendencies in art-book publishing through the individual titles it presents. Detailed information and commentary on all of the featured books are included at the end of the publication.

All pages are left uncut along the top edge, allowing the book to be experienced both as a guide and as a visual object.

First edition of 300 copies.
