The publishing house began in 1998, when Ezequiel Díaz Ortiz, an Argentine designer and editor, created CMYK, a communication studio based in Buenos Aires specializing in cultural production and the design of art books and exhibitions. Since then, Díaz Ortiz and his team have built a long career designing for renowned visual artists, photographers, museums and institutions.
Among his best publications are the catalogs of the art exhibition “A Coleção Costantini no MAM” in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil, which portray some of the most important Latin American art pieces from the Eduardo Costantini collection.
