These David Zwirner Gallery Books Take Kids on Amazing Artistic Adventures

Jul 21, 2025

What makes a great exhibition? What does a typographer do?




David Zwirner is one of the most respected and admired names in the art business. The now globally recognized German dealer founded his gallery back in New York's SoHo in 1993, when that neighborhood was the epicenter of everything exciting in the contemporary art world. There are now also galleries bearing his name in Los Angeles, Paris, London and Hong Kong - which in the last year alone have boasted exhibitions by such iconic names as Yayoi Kusama, Ruth Asawa, Alice Neel and Donald Judd.


Asawa and Kusama also just happen to be the subjects of two new books the gallery recently published, part of a wonderful series specifically written and illustrated for kids (and grown up kids, obviously.) Titles like 'Making a Great Exhibition' and 'Meet the Typographer' certainly have an educational mission at their core - but they are also each like an escape into creative worlds where children's books rarely ever venture.
