JRP|Editions - We Make Books and Multiples with Art

JRP|Editions (formerly JRP|Ringier, 2004–2018) has built up a catalogue of more than 500 titles currently in active distribution (in English, German, and French) and established itself as one of the leading international and independent publishers of contemporary art.

Origins

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.

Mission

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.

New Impetus

In September 2019, we launched our Multiples’ department with a brand-new website, lithographs on denim by the Swiss artist Sylvie Fleury, as well as a lithograph by Dorothy Iannone released to accompany the facsimile publication of her legendary book The Story of Bern, 1970.

Between Fall 2019 and Summer 2020, we released new editions with artists from different generations and nationalities such as John Armleder, Isabelle Cornaro, Olivier Mosset, Greg Parma Smith, Kenny Scharf, Joe Andoe, and Todd Bienvenu. Most of their multiples—including Armleder’s exclusive series of new mirrors—were unveiled during JRP|Editions’ first participation in the artgeneve art fair in January 2020.

All our lithographs are printed at the oldest Parisian printing house, founded in 1880, where Picasso, Matisse, Miró, and Chagall printed their work. The paper we use to print the lithographs is 100% handmade cotton and all the colors are also prepared by hand.
