The Dictionary of Art
The Dictionary of Art has been called the most important art reference work of the 20th century. Statistics alone bear witness to its unequalled coverage: 34 volumes, 41,000 articles, 15,000 illustrations, 6,802 contributing scholars from 120 countries. The 720,000-entry index and a meticulous cross-referencing system allow the reader to move around The Dictionary with ease, making unexpected connections and discovering new information from a variety of starting points. The Dictionary of Art's immense importance for the study of the visual arts amounts to much more than mere numbers, however. With the exception of film, all the visual arts are examined: from Greek architecture to Nazca ceramics, Giotto to David Hockney, Chinese snuff bottles to Louis XV wallpaper, 14th century painting treatises to feminist art history. With the unprecedented 14-year collaboration of specialist scholars from around the world, non-European arts are fully integrated into the work. What's more, the range of topics that can be researched in The Dictionary of Art stretches much further than art. The Dictionary is a unique central reference source for the humanities in general: history, geography, theology, anthropology, archaeology, Classics and cultural studies, are some of the fields for which The Dictionary provides a global and in-depth introduction. The Dictionary of Art, Volume 34: Index is now available for separate purchase at $225 / £130 per copy. Order five copies or more and receive $25 / £15 off each copy!
