THE GALLERY is delighted to announce Dashwood Books Pop up store in our art space. The founder and owner, David Strettell has carefully curated about 100 books for holiday season.

Opened in September 2005 and located in downtown, Manhattan, Dashwood Books has become a destination for artists, collectors and art directors from all over the world as well as a valued source for the fashion, advertising and film industries, and anyone interested in artist’s books and monographs.

Dashwood’s main specialty is in contemporary photography. This includes importing books that have no or very limited distribution in the United States, limited press runs from Japan, Germany and The Netherlands, artists’ self-published books, signed books and a carefully curated selection of collectible post-war titles.

Before opening Dashwood, Strettell has worked 12 years at Magnum Photos, a legendary photographic cooperative founded in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson and others. Since he opened his bookstore, he’s built book collections for many museums, educational institutions and reference libraries for designers and fashion houses.

The selection of books for the event includes titles by Nobuyoshi Araki, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Yayoi Kusama, Ari Marcopoulos, Jonas Mekas, Yurie Nagashima, Gus Van Sant and Wolfgang Tillmans. Accompanying the book selection, we’re exhibiting limited edition posters by Jamie Hawkesworth, Ryan McGinley, Jason Polan etc.
