Inventory Press is an independent publisher focused on books exploring art, architecture, design, music, and film. Its editorial approach emphasizes subcultures, overlooked histories, and the sociopolitical dimensions of material culture. The press produces illustrated books and exhibition catalogues, often in partnership with museums, artists, and cultural organizations. Its publications combine visual documentation with essays, interviews, poetry, and other commissioned or archival writing, offering readers deeper perspectives on creative practices and their wider contexts.

Inventory Press’s titles range from studies of artists and design education to publications documenting exhibitions, public art, and cultural histories. Recent and forthcoming books address subjects including Edmund de Waal’s work at The Huntington, María Berrío’s paper-based compositions, the Counterpublic triennial in St. Louis, and artist Susan Silton’s practice. The catalogue The Proving Ground examines Coulter Fussell’s textile works and connections to the US South, while A Co- Program for Graphic Design presents a collaborative approach to design history and teaching.
