After a two-year hiatus, the San Francisco Art Book Fair, which offers visitors the chance to turn the pages of a staggering number of artists’ books, monographs and zines from around the world, returns this weekend for its most ambitious edition yet.
The fair, co-presented by local art gallery and bookshop Park Life, book publisher Colpa Press and Minnesota Street Project, launched in 2016 to coincide with Minnesota Street Project’s opening. The first edition, planned over only about three months, was inspired by the New York and Los Angeles Art Book Fairs, presented by Printed Matter, ground zero for zine and art book publishing in New York.
Lindsay Albert, director of programming and public engagement at Minnesota Street Project, sees this explosive interest in the fair as an upside to the pandemic and a result of the way Minnesota Street Project pivoted during the downturn. One of those efforts was the launch of the SFABF Publishing Grant, which awarded nine $1,000 grants to a diverse set of local and national publishers, many of whom who will be exhibiting at this year’s edition of the fair, including Bay Area publishers Sming Sming Books, Sun Night Editions and Unity Press.
In addition to the exhibitors at the book fair, a robust lineup of programming runs Friday through Sunday. This year’s slate, featuring book signings, talks and panels, was curated by David Senior, head of library archives at SFMOMA.
