ABOUT US
Founded by Julia Klein in 2009, Soberscove grew out of a desire to make little-known art historical documents accessible to a non-specialist audience. While the focus has broadened beyond art history, the majority of our books continue to foreground documentary and archival materials that offer alternative approaches to familiar subjects and histories, illuminate process, and complicate the notion of “major” and “minor.” Soberscove books tend to engage with subjects that have not gotten due attention, have fallen out of memory or fashion, and/or are ripe for a new kind of engagement. Collaboration with artists is central to our work.
Soberscove proudly donates a percentage of all of our print runs to Art Resources Transfer’s Library Program. The A.R.T. Library Program offers topical, high quality books on modern and contemporary art to public institutions, free of charge. Books are sourced from partnering presses, connecting artists, writers, and publishers to audiences that might not otherwise have access to museums, galleries, or art book stores.
