Ivorypress

Ivorypress is a publishing company that was founded in London in 1996 by Elena Ochoa Foster as a publishing house specialising in artists' books. The project also encompasses a wide range of areas and activities within the framework of contemporary art, including its own art gallery and bookshop, art consultancy and art exhibitions curatorship, editorial services, audio-visual productions and education.

In 2008, Ivorypress Art + Books was established. This consists of a bookshop and an art gallery, with a permanent artists’ books exhibition and an ongoing temporary exhibitions programme that have made Ivorypress Space one of the most emblematic art galleries and significant actors in Madrid’s cultural scene.

In addition to its exhibition calendar in Madrid, Ivorypress is also involved in intense curatorial activity surrounding the creation, design and production of international exhibition projects in collaboration with significant institutions and events.

Ivorypress is also involved in the education and support of emerging talents, as well as in the promotion of contemporary art in higher education.

Every year, Ivorypress sponsors and organises a Contemporary Art Professorship, being the first academic initiative of its kind to do so, at the University of Oxford, UK, in association with the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art and Magdalen College.

Ivorypress also publishes the C International Photo Magazine.

Elena Ochoa Foster is the founder and current CEO of Ivorypress.
