Company Profile
Marquand Books
Company Overview
Marquand Books develops, designs, and produces books with museums, artists, creative professionals, publishers, and collectors.
Design
Our design process is highly collaborative and characterized by functionality, sensitivity, and intelligence. Working closely with our clients, we concentrate on the publication’s content along with its larger goals. Our method is informed by our experience but not confined by it—we value flexibility.
Editorial
We work with authors, curators, and editors to manage manuscripts from beginning to end. Our extensive experience with museum publications gives us a broad art historical background, which informs and sharpens our editorial work. We have a diverse stable of art history editors, professional typesetters, and skilled proofreaders and indexers who refine our clients' words to the highest standards.
Production and Printing
Careful and precise pre-press and printing are critical components in our bookmaking process. Working closely with our designers, we ensure materials and printing techniques are tailored to each project. Color management for our books is provided through our pre-press partner I/O Color. We partner with a variety of premium printers who we have worked with for many years and who understand the demanding standards of art publishing.
Co-publishing and Distribution
We work on behalf of our clients to connect books to appropriate publishers and distributors, so their work is fully available to the book trade, museum shops, libraries, and online retailers. We have a strong relationship with every major art publisher, both academic and trade. Once a book is placed, we serve as liaison and guide between the publisher and our client.
Company History
Founded almost 40 years ago by Ed Marquand, Marquand Books has a storied history as a creative partner to museums, collectors, artists and authors. Adrian Lucia joined Marquand in 2013, and along with the remarkable staff, Marquand Books has continued to produce art and museum catalogs of outstanding quality. In 2022 Marquand Books acquired the pre-press and print brokering firm, IO Color. IO Color is renowned for its excellence in pre-press and color management. With Ed's retirement and Adrian's decision to take a step back in 2023, Gina Broze now leads the company as President + Creative Director. Gina brings expertise in Rights & Reproductions, and has incorporated her business Smart-Rights into Marquand Books. Today Marquand Books, IO Color and Smart-Rights are a leader for art book production and is an outstanding partner to many institutions and individuals across the nation.
