English This first English edition (2006) is the largest edition ever-over 170,000 entries, comprising over 20,000 pages in 14 volumes. Older entries have been updated and expanded, over 3,000 entries have been completely rewritten, and over 2,000 new entries have been added. All these combine to make the 2006 Benezit Dictionary of Artists even more compelling and useful to a wider audience than ever before.
This essential working tool gives not only biographical data, but also a general presentation of an artist's work, as well as a selection of bibliographical references, museum listings, graphics (including artist signatures, monograms and stamps of sale) and auction records.
Since 1911, the Benezit Dictionary of Artists has been the indispensable work of reference for art historians, dealers, and collectors, providing important factual information about almost any painter, sculptor, engraver or draftsman of all countries and schools, from antiquity to the present day.
