Artphilein

Lugano, Switzerland · since 2013

Artphilein Editions is a publishing house established in 2013 to make photography-based books, and it is the book arm of a foundation: the De Pietri Artphilein Foundation, which is committed to promoting emerging artists. Its books explore the convergence of humanity and the environment, ongoing societal and territorial shifts, and personal narratives, offering, in its words, intimate perspectives on contemporary issues. The foundation also runs photobook contests whose winner is published by the house, a Donation Programme sends complimentary copies to libraries and institutions on request, and the books are supplied to the trade directly from a bookstore in Paradiso, near Lugano, in Switzerland.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
