We create high-end, exclusively designed books for art collectors.
Collector’s Eye was created by Jennifer Shepard and Andrew Schwartz in 2024 to transform art collections large and small into beautifully designed, keepsake books worthy of their owners’ enduring vision.
Our aim is to make the art of collecting into something bigger than the artworks themselves. Each limited edition book expresses the specific tastes, inclinations, and values of the collector, bringing it all together in an attractively bound document to be shared with loved ones and enjoyed for years to come.
