Jerusalem Press was founded in

July 2007 with the remit to promote

artists, poets and writers by publishing

their work in limited edition books and

fine print editions of the highest quality.

While some are young and unpublished but possess a force of vision and impressive style, others are from past eras but still obscure. We consider all to be deserving of wider exposure. We won’t simply reprint, but will produce elegant and striking combinations of image and text and employ only the best printers and bookbinders.

The inaugural publication, available this autumn, will be the Austin Osman Spare monograph, Cockney Visionary.

Then this winter shall see the publication of a classic of Edwardian mysticism, realised
in a newly typeset format, replete with especially commissioned essays.

These and future projects will be first announced and made available exclusively
to our email subscribers, sold on a first come, first served basis. So, be sure to subscribe to our email newsletter.

AOS ‘now on’ at the Imperial War Museum…

The Imperial War Museum has just installed a temporary display on the RAMC artists.
It features work by Spare, recently out of the vaults. It is located in the end room of the
D-floor art galleries at the museum’s Lambeth Road location.

The display is not huge and the context does not allow a really in-depth discussion of Spare’s work. But they have included four cracking drawings and it looks good. The gallery text will also include a mention of the show at the Cuming Museum, with dates.

The display is open from Saturday 31 July and should be on for the next three months. ‘You read it here first.’

The Cuming exhibition will feature eight large pastels
by Spare from the IWM collection.
