TransGlobe Publishing explained

TransGlobe Publishing is a London-based publisher that specialises in art and lifestyle photobooks.[1] It was founded in 2003 by Director Hossein Amirsadeghi, who acts as publisher and author.[2]

Publications

TransGlobe's publications fall into three main categories, the majority of which are co-published with Thames & Hudson:

The photobooks focussed on artist's studio are particularly noteworthy due to the inclusion of rare interviews conducted with artists and art world personalities, such as Frank Auerbach, Maggi Hambling, Gavin Turk and Gustav Metzger (see: Sanctuary: Britain's Artists and their Studios (2012)), and Jeff Koons, John Baldessari, and Shirin Neshat (see: Art Studio America: Contemporary Artist’s Spaces (2013)).[3] [4] [5]

TransGlobe's recent hardback, Voices: East London (2017), features a mix of portraits and interviews with East London creatives, such as actor Jonny Woo and gallerists Maureen Paley and Victoria Miro, profiled by artist Maryam Eisler.[6]

These volumes include essays written by many notable art critics and historians, including Iwona Blazwick, Director of Whitechapel Gallery, former Turner Prize judge Richard Cork, and journalist Tom Morton.[7]

Arts & Patronage Summit

In 2012 TransGlobe Publishing hosted the first Art & Patronage Summit, which began as an event focused on the visual arts and creativity in the greater Middle East, including North Africa, Iran, and Turkey.[8]

The Summit consisted of panel discussions held at the British Museum and the Royal College of Art, a screening of Pia Getty's film 'Axis of Light' at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and a charity auction held at Sotheby's.[9] Notable speakers included Chris Dercon, Director of Tate Modern, and Martin Roth, Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum.[10]
