Overview

A+mbookstore (also styled A&Mbookstore, with its publishing imprint A&Mbookstore Edizioni) is an Italian publishing house and art bookstore based in Milan. It operates at the intersection of art publishing and retail, producing and distributing books, catalogues and artists' publications that document and accompany contemporary art and photography practices. Its catalogue is characterised by close collaboration with artists, curators and critics, and by a strong presence of exhibition-related titles, monographs and artists' magazines. The publisher's output, as reflected on its website, includes monographs and project books tied to figures such as Rebecca Moccia, Julia Carrillo, Erik Kessels, Alberto Garutti, Chiara Camoni, Giulio Lacchini and Sebastiano Gazzato, as well as thematic volumes on artists' magazines and publications. Titles are frequently co-published with other independent art publishers, and are distributed through the A+mbookstore bookshop and online store. The books are typically produced in small print runs with careful attention to design, format and reproduction quality, in line with the conventions of the contemporary art book market. A+mbookstore functions both as a publisher and as a physical and online point of sale for art books, making it part of the wider ecosystem of independent art publishing in Italy. Its Milan location places it within one of the country's main centres for contemporary art, design and publishing. The house's editorial programme emphasises documentation of exhibitions, artist projects and critical writing, and it participates in the international circulation of Italian and international art publishing through fairs, bookshops and distribution partnerships. Because the brand is relatively specialised, detailed corporate information such as founding year, ownership structure and executive leadership is not widely documented in public sources. The available evidence identifies it primarily as a Milan-based publishing house, with its website serving as the main catalogue and sales channel.

History

A+mbookstore is a Milan-based publishing house and art bookstore. Public evidence describes it as a publishing house based in Milan, Italy, and its website presents it as the publisher of a catalogue of art and photography books under the imprint A&Mbookstore Edizioni, Milano. The available sources do not document a precise founding date or a detailed corporate history, so the following account is limited to what can be supported by the evidence. The house's editorial identity is built around contemporary art and photography. Its catalogue includes monographs and project books on artists such as Rebecca Moccia, Julia Carrillo, Erik Kessels, Alberto Garutti, Chiara Camoni, Giulio Lacchini and Sebastiano Gazzato, as well as thematic volumes such as a history of the artists' magazine E IL TOPO and a study of artists' magazines and publications after Marcel Duchamp. These titles are typically produced with curators, critics and artists, and are published in Milan, sometimes in co-edition with other independent publishers. Alongside its publishing activity, A+mbookstore operates as a bookshop and online store, selling its own titles and, presumably, other art publications. This dual role as publisher and retailer is common among independent art book houses, which often rely on direct sales, book fairs and specialised distribution to reach readers and institutions. Because the brand is specialised and its public documentation is limited, details such as founding year, founders, ownership and corporate structure are not established by the available evidence. The entry should therefore be treated as a profile of an active Milanese art publishing brand rather than a complete corporate history.
