This 3-volume set, now encompassing 65,000 entries, has been highly regarded by researchers and is considered by many to be one of the cornerstones of a good art reference library. Out of print artist dictionaries, monographs, exhibition catalogues, and regional artist directories are examples of the resources drawn upon, creating a comprehensive reference work that covers 400 years of artists in the United States. Each entry provides the artist name, birth and death date, profession (e.g., engraver, blockprinter, screenprinter, lithographer, museum curator, painter, designer), state and city of residence, where they studied, associations, exhibitions, where their works are located today, general comments about the life and work, and list of sources. The entries average about one column in length and also provide signature and monogram examples. This set will be a valuable addition to any public or academic library that would benefit from a thoroughly researched and up-to-date biography on American artists. Shipping within the United States is $15. Air mail to Canada is $38. Air mail to other countries ranges between $80 and $110.
