Buchdruckkunst Hamburg 2024

BuchDruckKunst: A feast for the senses in the age of digitalization

BuchDruckKunst is a unique event that focuses on artists and their editions that make use of both traditional and new printing processes. In an age dominated by digital media, the need for authentic, sensual and individual experiences is growing. BuchDruckKunst taps into this longing and presents a wide range of distinctive works that are produced with passion and dedication. From one-of-a-kind pieces to coloring books, the fair offers a variety that is unparalleled in the digital world.

Craft demonstrations and direct contact with artists

The fair is characterized by its craft demonstrations. Visitors can look over the shoulders of experts in the production of paper, traditional printing processes such as lithography, etching and woodcut, as well as lead typesetting, wood lettering and bookbinding. Interaction is a key aspect here: visitors are often not only allowed to watch, but also lend a hand themselves. BuchDruckKunst is also a platform for the lively German scene of book artists whose works are rarely found in regular bookshops. The fair offers the rare opportunity to discover and acquire exceptional editions, from affordable to exclusive pieces.

Relaxed atmosphere and high visitor numbers

BuchDruckKunst takes place over three days and attracted around 2,500 visitors in each of the years before the coronavirus pandemic. It offers a relaxed environment in which museum visitors, collectors and representatives of institutions can come into direct contact with the artists. This fair is not just a sales event, but also a place of exchange and inspiration for anyone looking for something special in book printing and book art.
