Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

World Painting Index is a monumental reference work designed to eliminate many of the problems encountered in the search for a reproduction of a particular painting. The primary work, selected as one of the outstanding reference books of 1978, indexed 1,167 art books and catalogs published in the United States and abroad between 1940 and mid-1975, and provided access to reproductions of tens of thousands of paintings by thousands of artists from around the world.The first supplement indexes¿from 1980 through 1989. The second supplement indexes 697 art books and catalogs published in the U.S. and abroad from 1980 to 1989. Following the format of the original work, it contains a numbered bibliography, a listing by title of work by artists whose names are unknown, a listing by painter of works appearing in the indexed volumes, and a listing by title of paintings giving the names of the painters. A letter code informs the user what sort of reproduction is cited: black and white, color, etc. Works by lesser known Western painters, women, and Third World artists are included to a greater degree than in the original volumes, a reflection of the changing emphasis in publishing and gallery space allotments.
