Franz Bader Bookstore (and art gallery)
2001 Eye Street NW
Washington DC 20006

One of the particular qualities of the Franz Bader shop was that it included imported books from publishers outside of the United States. This was important in the pre-internet age for the art student or professional as artists who were given little attention in the United States were otherwise assessible at Franz Bader, opening up a whole world of information and chance introductions to unknown artists, a valuable experience for the enterprising art aficionado.

The Franz Bader bookshop moved around DC (for a history see the Baderfund.com page) during its 54 years of existence (it originally opened in 1953). Addresses it also occupied were 1705 G Street, NW; 2001 Eye Street, NW; 1701 Pennsylvania Avenue;, 1500 K Street; and 1911 Eye Street, NW, where it finally closed in 2007.
