The comprehensive and authoritative book on international artists providing auction dates, prices and biographical data for over 200,000 artists. Editor R.J. Davenport's criteria for artists to be listed in his book are that their art has either sold at auction houses that produce catalogues and publish results or that they are listed in at least one of the major artist dictionaries and encyclopaedias that Davenport has chosen to index. If you can't justify a set of the Benezit then this is your next obvious choice. Important information gives not only the dates and nationality of the artist but also typical subject matter. Examples are shown of price, size and where sold.
