Familia Editions, founded in 2018 by the editor and designer Maria Lago (Rio de Janeiro), is a project that aims to interpret, create and publish the work of contemporary Brazilian artists. The artist’s books published by Familia are the result of a very close and personalized collaboration between publisher, artists and printers. Familia focuses not only on the curatorship, interpreting the artists’ works, but also on the care with materials, final presentation and printing techniques, always elaborating unique projects for each artist.

Familia Editions has participated in international fairs as SP-Arte, Pinta Miami, UNTITLED San Francisco, FLAT Turin, ARCO Madrid, Drawing Room Lisboa and Art-O-Rama Marseille, Vienna Artbook Fair, Tijuana Rio, NYABF. Familia’s books are part of collections of institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art NY, MoMA NY and MoMA San Francisco, New York Public Library NY, Pinacoteca de São Paulo, MAR Rio de Janeiro, MASP São Paulo, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía Madrid, MACBA Barcelona, Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian Lisboa, Fundação Serralves Porto, Tate London, The Bodleian Library, Oxford Unversity, among other private art collections.

We develop the complete edition project in a partnership with the artist. Conceiving a book from scratch, from the original concept to the final production, priming originality, fine quality and exclusive distribution.
