The Great Book of Art Makers 2026

The Great Book of Art Makers 2026 is a collector’s edition created for those who appreciate contemporary art not only for the work itself, but for the stories, practices, and people behind it. The book brings together a carefully selected group of artists, award winners, and conversations, offering a considered look at the work being made today.

The edition is designed as a layered physical object. A refined jacket finished with gold-foil detailing and a distinctive cut-out frames the artwork on the cover, creating a glimpse of what lies beneath. Once the jacket is removed, the hardcover book is revealed, carrying its own cover design and artwork. The two-part presentation gives the publication a presence that feels closer to a collectible art object than a conventional book.

Inside, Remus Grecu graces the cover, with a dedicated conversation exploring his practice. The edition also features Guest Curator Sonia Borell, alongside conversations with Julia Collins, Carolina Pavia, and Anne Siems. The award section brings together Feyzan Alasya, Yoh Ko, and Dominika Łuszcz, recognised as Award Winner, 1st Runner Up, and 2nd Runner Up.

For collectors, the appeal lies in both what the book holds and how it is made: a substantial volume of contemporary art, presented through a distinctive cover construction and finished with details intended to be appreciated in person. It is a book to place within an art library, display at home, return to over time, and keep as part of a growing collection of contemporary art publications.
