About | Diagonal Press

Est. 2013 Tauba Auerbach

Publications in open editions.
Nothing signed or numbered.

MISSION

-To make art in the form of publications.

-To publish reference materials that support exhibitions, experiments and other people.

-To devise a business structure in which the publications are affordable and their value determined by what one gets out of owning them, rather than from reselling them.

-To exploit the physical possibilities of accessible, consumer-level printing and binding processes, such as comb binding, coil binding, photocopying and rubber stamping, and to use these technologies in inventive ways.

-To carry out production in-house or with small vendors.

-To operate with autonomy and integrity.

-To avoid confusing integrity with aversion to change.

-To participate meaningfully in the present and necessary psychic shift.

A diagonal line is the Z axis in a 2D drawing— the dimension that comes off the plane.

LIBRARY DISCOUNT

WHOLESALE
The Press works with a very small group of independently run shops to broaden the project's audience. Please inquire via email, diagonal@taubaauerbach.com, for more details.

ITEM LIMIT
Because the Press produces small batches of inventory in-house, orders are limited to three of each item.

RETURNS/EXCHANGES
These are primarily DIY publications— hand-bound, hand-stamped and assembled in the studio. They are irregular by nature. The press does not offer returns or exchanges unless something catastrophic happens during shipping, in which case your item will be replaced.

To comply with the The EU Right of Withdrawal, EU customers may return their order within the 14-day “cooling-off period” or within 14 days from the date of delivery, but the customer is responsible for the costs of postage and packaging. Items must be received at the press in the same condition as when they were sent. The following made-to-order items are exempt and non-refundable: Flags, There Have Been and Will Be Many San Franciscos, Reciprocal Score, and the complete Type Specimen Portfolio.
