Phaidon means The Story of Art and The Art Book and major artists like Kerry James Marshall and Yayoi Kusama, as well as children’s book legends like Tomi Ungerer and Hervé Tullet. It means their massive world cuisine food surveys and chefs like Magnus Nilsson, René Redzepi, and Ferran Adria and plenty of cookbooks for home cooks. They have some of the biggest names in photography like Annie Leibovitz, Lauren Greenfield, and Nan Goldin, and collaborations with game-changers like Nike and Supreme and Michigan’s own Herman Miller – not to mention the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The New Museum, and other institutions around the world. Phaidon has consistently published fascinating and instantly accessible books for every interest.
We step into the shoes of longtime Phaidon sales rep, Chris Conti, who recently announced he is moving to a new position at IPG. We are thrilled to be able to take over for Chris and carry things forward.
Phaidon’s head of sales Amy Hordes is from the Midwest, too, like all of us Abrahams – she’s from Ohio, with family throughout the region, so we know that Midwestern store needs will continue to be a Phaidon priority.
We can’t wait to start talking with all our booksellers about Phaidon’s Winter / Spring 2021 list, and really dig into the deep backlist treasures that await us. We are very much looking forward to Phaidon continuing to be a strong partner for our indie bookstore friends in the coming years.
