Since it was originally published in France in 1911, the Benezit Dictionary of Artists has been the unrivalled, indispensable work of reference for art historians, dealers, collectors, and students, with key factual information about painters, sculptors, engravers, and draughtsmen of all countries and schools, from antiquity to the present. It has grown steadily, and is now supported by a computerized database and a team of 150 editors, art historians, and translators. This first English edition offers more than 170,000 entries providing biographical data, a general presentation of each artist's work, bibliographical references, museum listings, graphics (including artist signatures, monograms, and stamps of sale), and auction records.
