The essential reference to art in the workplace and the corporate art world, the International Directory of Corporate Art Collections is still the only comprehensive reference for corporate art collecting around the world. In continuous publication since 1983, the newly revised and updated 2016-2017 edition features nearly 800 companies through a global tour of art in the workplace.Several million works of art are displayed in businesses and corporations around the world -- nearly as many as in city art museums! Corporations spend millions every year purchasing art, and the total value of all of the art that is on display in the workplace is worth several billion dollars. So the most important patron of the arts during the past 70 years has been ....... not private collectors, government art programs, and not even museums, but corporations. The International Directory of Corporate Art Collections describes which companies have art collections, have commissioned art, developed art education programs, and which corporations have organized or sponsored art exhibitions or loaned art works from their collections.In two sections, the International Directory of Corporate Art Collections highlights art in the workplace from 1) Europe and Asia Pacific, and 2) North and South America. The latest edition is an essential reference for artists, art collectors, museum corporate affairs officers, curators and directors, architects, art galleries, art advisors and consultants, art historians, art appraiser, and lawyers. Information provided for each program includes contact information, description, size of collection, art programs and sponsorships, status of program, and bibliography.

The 'London Art and Artists Guide' provides information on art schools, museums, galleries, studios and the people involved with them. It also covers restaurants, markets and general features that relate to London.

First published in 1997. For this second edition of Art Books: A Basic Bibliography of Monographs on Artists, the vast number of new books published since 1985 was surveyed and evaluated. This has resulted in the selection of 3,395 additional titles. These selections, reflective of the increase in the monographic literature on artists during the last ten years, are evidence of the activities of a larger number of art historians in more countries worldwide, of the increasingly diverse and ambitious exhibition programs of museums whose number has also increased dramatically, and also of a lively international art market and the attendant gallery activities. The selections of the first edition have been reviewed, errors have been corrected and important new editions and reprints have been noted. The second edition contains 278 names of artists not represented in the first edition.

These essays discuss major questions that should arise in courses in bibliography, methodology, and historiography, once the survey courses are left behind.
