The hidden gems in Books, brought to you by Thomas Vincent
Cultural history is never frozen. It’s continually being written and renewed.
Raised by studious parents and equally curious brothers, Thomas recalls being surrounded by books since childhood. Once he started exploring book shops on his own, he realised many of the contemporary subcultures he appreciated were missing from the shelves — as if cultural history had stopped in 1960. With a foundation as an expert of old books and manuscripts, Thomas started specialising in subcultures from the 1970s and 1980s, such as punk, hip-hop, nightlife culture and the birth of graffiti. He enjoys finding extraordinary and elegant books about unexpected subjects, championing forward-thinkers that influenced the avant-garde. As a book expert at Catawiki, Thomas is able to do just that: celebrate underground subcultures by giving dedicated literature the attention it deserves. Find Thomas’ exciting auctions in the Books category – and rest assured he’s meticulously studied each lot, selecting only those with intriguing content and unique characteristics.
