Publisher Statement

Ink Forge Press is an independent art publisher dedicated to producing authoritative illustrated books with a focus on archival integrity, considered design, and rigorous research. Established in Australia, the press was founded to champion artists and visual histories that deserve lasting recognition, presenting their work in books crafted with care and technical precision.

Its inaugural title, The Art of Renato Fratini, is a 448-page monograph created with the full endorsement of the Fratini family. The project reflects the core values of Ink Forge Press: respect for original artwork, diligent sourcing from international archives and private collections, and a commitment to high-quality production through trusted Italian printers.

Ink Forge Press also develops limited edition prints, research-driven projects, and future art books in collaboration with estates, archives, collectors, and contemporary artists. Every publication is built on a simple principle: to preserve creative legacies and bring them to readers, collectors, and institutions in a form that endures.
