After 15 years of dynamic editorial activities as a commercial publishing company, JRP|Ringier became JRP|Editions on January 1, 2019. Placed under the responsibility of the Fondation suisse pour l’édition d’art (FSEA), a nonprofit entity presided over by Swiss artist John M Armleder, this new imprint is committed to pursuing the distribution of titles published since 2004, as well as to publishing new books.

When Swiss curator Lionel Bovier and publisher Michael Ringier founded JRP|Ringier Kunstverlag AG in Zurich in 2004, it was a natural evolution for a small publishing company named JRP|Editions that had been established a decade previously by Lionel Bovier and Christophe Cherix. Coming full circle back to our former imprint name, our new activities are clearly informed by the acclaimed journey through art publishing led by JRP|Ringier.

Since 2004, with a team of highly motivated collaborators, associate designers, and editors, and thanks to collaborations with great artists, writers, curators, museums, and private institutions worldwide, JRP|Editions (formerly JRP|Ringier, 2004–2018) has managed, through an expanding network of specialized and committed distributors, to establish itself as one of the leading international and independent publishers of contemporary art.

We have built up a catalogue of more than 500 titles currently in active distribution (in English, German, and French), which has established our profile and audience in the contemporary art field.

Careful to maintain high editorial quality in terms of conception, design, and production, we have succeeded in positioning the company simultaneously as an independent producer and as a publishing partner for museums and private structures.

In 2019 JRP|Editions launched a multiples department, as well as a new program dedicated to innovative voices of the contemporary art field: JRP|Next

Since then, JRP|Editions has been releasing lithographs, silkscreens, sculptures, neon lights, mirrors, and textiles with artists such as John Armleder, Katherine Bradford, Isabelle Cornaro, Eliza Douglas, Carroll Dunham, Sylvie Fleury, General Idea, Dorothy Iannone, Olivier Mosset, Mai-Thu Perret, Kenny Scharf, Mungo Thomson, and Julia Wachtel.

With its widely reputed editorial quality in terms of conception, design, and production, JRP|Editions aims at offering the most desirable and enriching books and fine art multiples to readers and collectors worldwide.
