Including over 1200 works of art ranging from the 18th century to contemporary times, this edition of the pictures price guide has been re-organized and redesigned. Organized alphabetically by artist, it describes and prices each work of art, often with additional information on artist, provenance or subject matter. It covers a wide range of pictures at different values, including some surprising showstoppers you might find while out antiquing. A wide range of media are illustrated, including oils, watercolours, gouache and prints. In addition, special features focus on particular genres including marine, Irish art, nudes and limited edition prints, plus new areas of collecting such as outsider art. These special features look at particular artists, offering collective advice and market information, as well as highlighting the key names to look for. All items included have sold recently at auction or are for sale in galleries throughout the world and the source of every picture can be found easily. The guide includes directories of galleries and specialists.
