BENEZIT Dictionary of Artists

Since 1911, the Benezit Dictionary of Artists has been the indispensable work of reference for art historians, dealers, and collectors, providing important factual information about almost any painter, sculptor, engraver or draftsman of all countries and schools, from antiquity to the present day. The english version of Benezit has been extensively updated and greatly expanded. Features include biographical entries on artists, descriptions of museums and galleries where the works of an artist can be found, graphics (including artist signatures, monograms and stamps of sale), auction records, and bibliographies of written works about the artist. Each entry conveys essential biographical information: name, nationality and dates, fields of expertise, media, genre and subject matter, broad art-historical classification, movement, group or school. Sources range from books, periodicals and exhibition catalogues to essays, dissertations and multimedia. The original entries have been re-written and updated by a team of scholars working for the last 5 years. With 175,000 entries and over 20,000 pages in 14 volumes, this first English edition makes Benezit the world's most complete and up-to-date biographical dictionary of artists of all times and all countries. Blue cloth gold blocked.
