NVO987 - Bookstore

Books that emerge from research, documents, and cultural memory.

The NVO987 is Nicholas Van-Orton’s personal, independent publishing initiative, with its primary interests focused on culture, art history, and research-based publishing. The publisher provides a platform for works that contribute to a deeper understanding of a particular period, artist, body of work, artistic phenomenon, cultural process, or historical source. The books may comprise research findings, studies, documentation, monographic works, or independent authorial works that examine a given subject from their own perspective and with due thoroughness. For NVO987, publishing does not simply mean the physical production of a text or visual material, but also involves considering what place a particular work may occupy within cultural and historical memory, what source value it may possess, and what it may contribute to existing knowledge.
