Édition Lebeer Hossmann
Édition Lebeer Hossmann (also Édition Lebeer-Hossmann Hamburg – Brussels) was a German-Belgian publisher of art publications, artist books, multiples and artist records. In addition to general publishing work in the art book and art catalog sector, it was dedicated to the promotion, publication, and distribution of artists' books and records, and, therefore, provided a platform for young artists who were experimenting with the then-new medium of artist books and records. The focus was on publications related to Fluxus. The works published here by Christian Boltanski, George Brecht, Marcel Broodthaers, Robert Filliou, Annette Messager, René Magritte, Dennis Oppenheim and Ben Vautier have become classics of the artist's book genre and are now represented in all major art collections. In the field of artists' records, the edition did pioneering work in publishing sound art, including works by Henning Christiansen, Philip Corner, Nam June Paik and Dieter Roth, which are now sought-after collector's items.
In addition to this pioneering and experimental work, the publishing house established a section with exhibition catalogs, artist monographs and theory series, which financed the experimental work as commercial commissions.
Édition Lebeer Hossmann was founded in 1972 by Irmelin Hossmann-Lebeer, Paul Lebeer and Herbert Hossmann, and officially ceased operations in 2024. Publications by Édition Lebeer Hossmann are regularly offered at auctions and by art (book) dealers. (Source)
