14 presents 14. Best Book Design from all over the World 2026

In the organizer's words:

When form and content merge inseparably: This exhibition "14 presents 14. Best Book Design from all over the World 2026" shows the most exciting examples of current book design - in cooperation with the Stiftung Buchkunst. On display are 14 award-winning titles and 21 other books from the international shortlist, selected from around 570 submissions from 33 countries. They show how diverse and experimental the medium of the book is today.

The highest award, the Golden Letter, went to "Ourouboros Wings" by Benaiah French in 2026: color surfaces migrate through folded printed sheets into the interior of the Japanese binding and open up new visual perspectives - inspired by a current, bizarre discourse about 'fat bikes' in the Netherlands.

The exhibition in the art library of HALLE 14 invites visitors to rediscover book art - in the heart of Leipzig, where the competition has been anchored since 1963.
