🇬🇧 Reykjavík Art Book Fair was held at the Reykjavík Art Museum, Hafnarhús, from Thursday March 30 to Sunday April 2, 2023. ARKIR were among the exhibitors at RABF, a growing artist’s book fair. The weekend was a great success and we thank all the visitors who came to our booth for coming! Participants and guests were both local and from abroad. There were so many inspiring works and interesting books!


ABOUT THE FAIR: The Reykjavík Art Book Fair brings together participants from the local creative scene as well as from abroad to show and sell their work, socialise and have a joyful weekend. It whips up a mélange of artists, creative publishers, galleries, museums, artist-run spaces, bohemians, lords and ladies, activists, writers, poets and students to buy and sell their work and published material, art books, zines, creative writing, limited editions, multiples, catalogue raisonné and more.
The first edition of the Reykjavík Art book Fair, hosted in 2021, was a huge success, full of life, events and a great number of guests. We look forward to welcoming participants and guests to this year’s edition.
The Reykjavík Art Book Fair is in collaboration with the Reykjavík Art Museum and the Iceland University of the Arts with support of the City of Reykjavík.
