More than 200 of the world's most distinguished book artists and artisans, private presses, and fine art publishers will be exhibiting their work at the upcoming biennial CODEX V International Book Fair, Feb. 8-11 at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, CA.
Supported in part by Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley, CODEX is the largest book fair of its kind celebrating the arts of the book and the artists who create them.
Acknowledged as the leading international fine press and artist book fair, CODEX, now in its 10th year, features exhibitors from 22 countries, among them Germany, the UK, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Mexico, Israel, China, Austria, Poland, Australia, Russia, and Japan.
Attracting private collectors, curators and special collections librarians from all over the world, the CODEX fair is also open to the general public.
"We've created a place for the finest book artists in the world to gather, exchange ideas and build community," says CODEX Foundation founder Peter Rutledge Koch. "For a devotee of finely crafted books, there is no better place to be."
