The Fruitmarket Gallery publishing programme has an acknowledged reputation for
excellence, innovation and quality. The Gallery prioritises the production of books to
accompany exhibitions whenever possible, as a vital support and resource for artists and
audiences. There is no ‘house style’ or prescribed scale or format for any Fruitmarket
publication, rather the book that is produced is the one that is right for the artist and the
audience in the context of other publications in print.
