The Dictionary of Art --
Reference 703 D554
This 34 volume set was
reviewed by Time Magazine when it was published in
1996. Here's part of what the reviewer said:
"No more complete
guide to the world's art exists...every major subject
has multiple entry points: individual artists, schools,
national origin, techniques and so on. There's no
art publication in existence that gives the reader
such richness of detail and coherence of organization."
