Publishing house of art
The publisher of art was in 1952 in the GDR in the city of Dresden founded. It emerged from the merger of a predecessor that emerged from the expropriated Kunstanstalt May-AG and trading under the name of Kunstverlag Maecenas with the Dresdner Verlagsgesellschaft.
He saw his main field of activity in the publication of high-quality art print volumes, art books and the splendid editions of the GDR's museum collections. Increasingly it became an important economic factor for the GDR through the export and the issuing of licenses for convertible currency and gained international resonance. Renowned authors, photographers and scientists have published in this publisher. Even after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he maintained a market position with important publications in the art sector, especially the Dresden State Art Collections .
The VEB Verlag der Kunst (VdK) was after the reunification of Germany in 1990 by the Trust divided. The publisher was initially bought by the science publisher Gordon & Breach. In 2001 the Berlin Philo-Verlag took over the range of art and art theory titles and continued it under the new publisher name Philo & Philo Fine Arts. Since September 1, 2003, the program part of the publisher's regional literature has been part of the Husum publishing group and, as an independent publisher, will maintain its proven profile, especially in the regional sector. The representation of the Verlag der Kunst für Sachsen has been taken care of by the Ö Graphics Agency for Marketing and Design in Dresden since spring 2016. In addition to Verlag der Nation , Verlag der Kunst is the second large GDR publisher to be incorporated into the publishing group.
From the internationally renowned photo department (for example, light prints ) including the Edelgard Sachadae went Lichtdruck- and picture publishing house of art as a new, independent publishing house with the old office in Dresden , Spenerstraße 21 out. In this context, very large stocks of high-quality collotype prints were taken over and in some cases significantly increased by reprints (for example on handmade cardboard ).
