CONNOISSEURS

Parallel to his painting, Nicolas Chardon has been building a singular body of publishing work for more than 20 years. His output ranges from traditional catalogues to short-run serial prints, from statement cards to original drawings slipped into photocopied brochures. In 2017 he partnered with Karina Bisch to found CONNOISSEURS, which specialises in publications about contemporary painting. The editorial project wants to cherish and protect the aesthetic of the artist’s book, or even fanzines and ephemera. Its publications are known for their unique blend of sophistication and DIY.
