A New York–Based Platform for Independent Art Publishing

Friend Editions is a collaborative publishing platform founded by Oliver Shaw in New York in 2022. It produces small-run books, zines, and art objects by emerging and established artists, operating outside the conventions of commercial publishing. The output is deliberately limited in scale and varied in form.

Titles from Friend Editions tend toward the visual and the experimental — publications that sit between artist book, printed matter, and object. Contributors range from artists at early stages of their practice to those with sustained exhibition and publication histories. The work is made in close collaboration with Shaw and the platform, rather than through standard editorial pipelines.

Lokator100 stocks Friend Editions titles as part of a broader commitment to independent art publishing. Buyers based in Germany and across Europe can expect accurate condition documentation, careful packing, and tracked dispatch from Germany. Titles that cross into photographic or image-led territory are also represented in the Photobooks section of the catalogue.
