International Editions

Art speaks a universal language that knows no boundaries. In an increasingly connected and fluid world, our stories are born to travel far. We partner with major international publishers and museums in creating volumes designed for a global audience.

Our publishing division employs a Foreign Rights team to bring our stories to an international audience through rights assignments or co-editions with major foreign publishers. We produce original editorial content, managed at every stage-from concept to graphics-and adapt it for the foreign market in partnership with the likes of Abrams, Laurence King and Thames & Hudson for the Anglo-Saxon market, Hachette and Éditions de la Martinière for France, Anaya for Spain, to name a few.

We provide diverse services according to the needs of our partners: from translation to graphic design to direct production for co-editions. Today, our international catalog includes prestigious monographs and anthologies on the greatest protagonists of the art world, the subject of twinned co-editions, alongside more popular volumes, such as the recent Art Essentials series in collaboration with British publisher Thames & Hudson. We also develop special projects through our Kids publishing brand, in collaboration with internationally prestigious museums such as MoMA in New York and Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
