ARTBOOK @ MoMA P.S.1

“From a few pushcarts in the lobby of P.S.1, the ARTBOOK @ MoMA P.S.1 bookstore has grown to become the most vibrant source for cutting-edge contemporary art books on the East Coast, a treasure trove of books, DVDs and CDs rarely found elsewhere and a destination for lovers of contemporary culture. ARTBOOK @ MoMA P.S.1 offers a huge selection of titles on contemporary culture and art, including MoMA P.S.1 exhibition-related publications (and other MoMA P.S.1 products), books relating to current New York shows and a large, adventurous stock of monographs, theory, photography, performance, music, new media, plus CDs, DVDs and journals. New publications constantly arrive from diverse sources all over the world–we actively seek hard-to-find books–reflecting current cultural trends worldwide. ARTBOOK @ MoMA P.S.1 also presents book signings and readings by artists, curators and critics, in collaboration with MoMA P.S.1: to join our mailing list, contact us at ARTBOOK@ps1.org.”
