The New York/Berlin publishing house Sternberg Press was set up out of the publishing house Lukas & Sternberg – founded in 1999 by Caroline Schneider – with the aim of addressing ‘blind spots’ within contemporary art publishing. It has maintained a small, tight operation since. In a sea of monographs, exhibition catalogues and academic theory writings that find a narrow readership, Sternberg’s particular niche in recent years has come to be an important home for well-chosen artist book projects, long-form essays and creative, readable writing that one can’t imagine being published elsewhere, such as Nicolas Bourriaud’s The Radicant (2009), Bettina Funcke’s Pop and Populous (2009), Isabelle Graw’s High Price (2010), Céline Condorelli’s Support Structures (2009), Keren Cytter’s film scripts (2010) and Dexter Sinister’s Portable Document Format (2009).
