Yet, it\u2019s hard to ignore how much has changed in recent years: the fair has shrunk dramatically, and the once-thriving facsimile section has taken a severe hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Can you imagine?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just five traditional publishers held their ground this time around, relegated to a makeshift area typically reserved for art books, now sandwiched among a mishmash of other genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given these circumstances, I set off for Frankfurt with low morale and few expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early Birds Get the Worms: Leaving 7 hours before the first meeting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our adventure began at 2:00 AM<\/strong> when I met my colleague Giacomo Cecchetti from Pazzini Stampatore, a printing press specializing in art books and facsimiles. Together, we set off on our journey: a drive to Bologna for a direct flight that whisked us to Frankfurt by 8 AM. After navigating the metro, we arrived at the fair, <strong>just in time for our first appointment at 9:00 AM.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet Universal Art Group: the hat for Faksimile Verlag, Verlag M\u00fcller&amp;Schindler, and Eikon Editores, and much more!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We kicked off our day by meeting <strong>Charlotte Kramer, Javier Zalve, and Alexander Wilhelm<\/strong>. Charlotte, along with her husband Javier Zalve and with the cooperation of publishing expert Alexander Wilhelm, leads a holding company dedicated to art, and they recently formed a new group called <strong>Universal Art Group<\/strong>. This initiative focuses on producing high-quality art books, and we are working closely together on several fronts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default
