The back story
Ansten Press is an independent publisher, founded in 2020 by Nina Ansten. She has many years’ experience in art education, design and communication services for the art field.
As designer, project leader, and editor—and with a keen interest in art, books and traditional craft methods—Ansten has acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the various phases of book production, and built up a network of highly proficient collaborators.
Ansten studied visual communication, photography and design at Central Saint Martins—University of the Arts London. She has worked on commission for, among others, Astrup Fearnley Museet, Equinor Art Programme, Kabuso Art Centre, Munch Museum, National Museum, Stavanger Art Museum, Thomas Tallis School London and Vestfossen Art Centre.
