What is Pharmacy Books?
A publisher of artists’ books and artists’ projects. Pharmacy Books acts as a platform for explorations in design, photography, and art publishing. Originally founded under the name First Last in 2018, the project was redefined as Pharmacy Books in 2024 to reflect its evolving vision and focus.
We’ve hosted events in New York, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tokyo. Our publications can be found at the arts libraries at Yale University and the University of Pennsylvania. We are distributed in shops internationally including Commune (Japan), Librairie Yvon Lambert (France), and Actual Source (United States).
