For well over 25 years I have been adding these extremely well illustrated, frequently monographic auction catalogues as reference sources to my personal research library, and was always absolutely thrilled to discover something dealing with my many eclectic interests. They are really UNIQUE identification guides with hard-to-find data, usually containing info about the size, media, dates, styles, signatures, estimated values, and often significant details on the artist or maker. As with many of the books in my research library, I frequently, when possible, obtained duplicate copies, as I like to have one to use and others as back-up -- those listed are my never used backups. They are absolutely indispensable references, whether you happen to be an appraiser, an investor, a collector, a student working on a term paper or thesis, a teacher who wants more diversity in presenting concepts with concrete examples -- maybe you want to try to identify what Grandma has stashed in the attic, or that lovely item you discovered at a yard sale or local country auction -- perhaps you have a shop, might call yourself an expert, researching the different styles of certain things/makers -- hey, even just for a world-traveled packrat like I was in my prime, they always offer exciting new vistas of beauty, creativity and information that I could find nowhere else. These catalogues are extremely difficult to find because long time knowledgeable collectors around the world had already acquired them through very expensive subscription when they first appeared! ** CLICK below for information -- opens in new browser window for convenience |
