Arion Press

Profil

During the 1980s, Arion Press branched into artist books, which incorporated original prints from the collaboration between Andrew Hoyem and prominent artists, including Jim Dine , Jasper Johns and Robert Motherwell. In the 2000s, the list of artists has grown, and younger contemporary artists have contributed to the series. Arion editions are collected by individuals,museums, and libraries, including the British Library, Huntington Library, Brown University, University of Alberta, Ohio State University, Stanford University, Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library, New York Public Library, Dartmouth College, Brigham Young University, University of Arizona, and University of California. The books and prints have been the subject of many exhibitions and were featured in the 1995 "A Century of Artis ts Books" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art.

The Arion Press remains small, employing about ten people as printers, bookbinders, editors, and in other publishing roles. Part of the team are the highly skilled and long-experienced typesetters of Mackenzie & Harris, the oldest and largest surviving typefoundry in America, which was bought in 1989. M & H Type, as that division is also known, supplies lead-alloy type to printers and schools around the country and provides typographic services in computer-generated composition as well.

Arion Press is a self-sustaining business and has never been subsidized by grants. It has survived through hard work, perseverance, and devotion to excellence in the crafts of bookmaking and to imaginative presentation of worthy literary texts and visual art.
