GINGKO – short-lived art in long-lived books

Gingko Press was originally founded in Hamburg, Germany. In 1991 Mo Cohen and Julie von der Ropp built up a first field office in Santa Rosa, California. Ever since the publisher operates from the USA and launches the issues in English language to reach a larger crowd. Gingko also collaborates with various other publisher houses like Juxtapoz Magazine, ObeyGiant and Uper Playground. Gingko Press is about documenting modern art from the streets without putting it on a pedestal. Their focus rather lies on maintaining the short-lived character of underground art. Gingko wants to break this boundary and make sure that art is accessible to everyone.
