商品簡介
A supplement to the 1980 title of the same name, this reference contains bibliographic information for a selection of titles in art history. The entries include annotation, which is often taken from the preface or introduction of the book described, along with an additional brief description by the authors and a list of the table of contents. Sections are included on bibliography, directories, sales records, visual resources, dictionaries and encyclopedias, iconography, sources and documents, histories and handbooks, and architecture. There are also sections for each artistic media. New chapters have been added that cover patronage, collecting, preservation law, and other issues of cultural heritage. Monographs on artists are not included, as these are the subject of other reference works. Works are included up to 1998 and feature titles in languages other than English.
