About Fruitmarket Bookshop

As the buyer for Fruitmarket’s bookshop, I endeavour to offer up a considered slice of the constantly shifting elements of contemporary culture. These moving pieces, (language, norms, politics, art, and values) are integral parts of how we connect to and think about the world, and influence how people conceive of concepts and objects - a major part of how art works. I aim to create an experiential space for you to discover a new book that sits in contemporary culture and art thoughtfully.

I also buy in a selection of considered gifts. Each season, I collect companies and makers for the shop, and work with them to bring products in. I aim to ensure all of our products are from companies and people who are invested in ethical and sustainable practises. All of our cards are either from the artist directly, or companies that pay their artists fairly.

Every purchase you make in the shop helps support the gallery, and allows Fruitmarket to continue to offer free exhibitions, events, and learning to the public.
