Thorsten Dennerlie

Established in 1997, The Bird Press (Thorsten Dennerline) is a small publishing/art project focused on the production of limited edition artist books.


All projects utilize some inherent aspect of the book as a point of departure, are designed to evolve in an open-ended manner, and often involve writers as collaborators.


Editions range from 15-50 and utilize various print media including: flatbed offset lithography, stone lithography, etching, letterpress, wood blocks, photopolymer plates, and digital pigment printing.


The Bird Press books are housed in numerous library collections, including those of The New York Public Library, Stanford University, Yale University, The Library of Congress, The Getty Foundation, and The National Gallery. As well as the Ampersand Foundation in Johannesburg, South Africa, Museum Jorn in Silkeborg Denmark, and The Design Museum, Copenhagen, Denmark.
