The special exhibition "Qingzang - The World's Most Beautiful Book in Leipzig (1991-2021)" was jointly launched by the first Guardian International Art Book Fair and book designer Zhao Qing and his Hanqingtang Studio. For the first time, the exhibition features a comprehensive exhibition of 354 award-winning books from 1991 to 2021, in 31 years, "The Most Beautiful Book in the World in Leipzig". The forum on book design will also start with "The most beautiful book in the world in Leipzig".
The most beautiful book in the world in Leipzig is the "highest recognized award" in the world of book design, known as the "Oscar in the field of book design". The award has been a great opportunity to learn about the most cutting-edge, highest-level book design. Almost every award-winning book is self-contained. They stand out from their respective cultural and linguistic spaces and are housed in the Leipzig State Library. Nowadays, you can see the world's top book designs in the Guardian International Art Book Fair without going abroad, which makes this special exhibition particularly rare.
"The Most Beautiful Book" is the annual selection activity of Chinese book design, which has witnessed the development achievements and progress of Chinese book design since its launch in 2003. Artron Culture Group collects and creates the "most beautiful book", won the global printing award for consecutive years, and is also the enterprise that prints the most "most beautiful book" in China. The guardian book fair presents the special exhibition "Artron & The Most Beautiful Book" and is a collection of the latest and most creative "most beautiful books", which can be read and read, touch the beauty of books and design. In addition to the "most beautiful book" in China, Artron's special "Art Book" will also bring visual shock to the audience at the book fair.
The special exhibition of "Jiaqing Book Making" exhibits Tian Jiaqing's works over the years, and its exhibition method is combined with the production of wooden utensils, which is very interesting, and the process of making books repeatedly polished will also be presented to the audience, bringing a different book viewing experience. Tian Jiaqing is the only disciple of Mr. Wang Shixiang, a well-known scholar of classical furniture, connoisseur and collector recognized by the academic community, and also an internationally renowned furniture designer and producer. "Family youth books" strive for excellence, and often the publication of a book has dozens of versions, just like polishing a work of art.
In the special exhibition "Collector's Study", the windows are clear, a table, a chair, a lamp, a few books... The study room is a world that the literati yearn for, and the "collector's study" is such a small world of relaxation: there are guests who come, but they can be collected; when sitting alone, they can meditate. As a special unit of the book fair, you can not only read the wonderful catalogue of the past of China Guardian Auction, but also enjoy Tian Jiaqing's furniture classic - "Between the Square and the Circle" rosewood large strip case.
Every two years, a feast for creating art books is held
The first "Guardian International Art Book Fair" takes the exhibition and sale of high-end and high-quality art books as its purpose, and adopts the invitation system to invite first-class art publishing houses, special bookstores and excellent book brands at home and abroad to participate, presenting its most representative publications, which is a centralized display of publishing brands and classic books. More than 5,000 kinds of art books and albums are displayed and sold through professional control and carefully selected on the spot, bringing the audience cutting-edge information on art collection and market, cultural relics archaeology and protection, art creation and theoretical research, and aesthetic education popularization. A special overseas art book zone covers art history, artists, exhibition albums, art education, design, aesthetics, architecture, jewelry fashion, fashion art and other books, covering ancient and modern China and foreign countries. The convergence of books such as art classics, rare out-of-print, design aesthetics, and parent-child aesthetic education will become the characteristics of the book fair.
Kou Qin, chief planner of guardian international art book fair and general manager of guardian art center, said that "art" books are different from other types of books, from content to form, they have the characteristics of "beauty" and "art". Therefore, the selection of fine books of cultural relics and art, which are displayed in a high-quality art venue such as Guardian Art Center, I believe it will be an exhibition with visual impact. The book fair has established a bridge between books and collectors, and I believe that this communication and exchange is not only beneficial to readers, but also brings interesting feedback through relevant data, helping and influencing the planning and selection of topics for future publications.
He revealed that the "Guardian International Art Book Fair" will be held once every two years and belongs to the medium-sized art book exhibition. First-class art publishing houses and featured book brands at home and abroad participated, and the books focused on art collection and market, cultural relics archaeology and protection, artistic creation and theoretical research, and aesthetic education popularization. In addition to new books in recent years, the convergence of some classic rare editions of books will also become a feature of the book fair.
