History

Marcus Campbell opened his first shop in Maddox Street in 1991, specialising in rare books on modern art. This was followed by a five year partnership at St. James's Art Books, Piccadilly Arcade. During that time he also organised the first London Artists' Book Fair at the South Bank, which then moved to the Barbican Centre and the ICA over a period of 15 years. In 1998, in anticipation of Tate Modern's launch in 2000, he opened the present premises at Bankside.
