  Miller's Pictures Price Guide 2005 is a fascinating overview of the current art market with pictures sold both in the last 12 months at auction, and through galleries from around the world. It includes c.1,200 pictures that range in date from the 18th to the 21st century in a range of media including oils, watercolours, pastels, gouaches, and prints, and features lesser known artists as well as some of the biggest names in the art world. The artists' profiles give historical and collecting information and illustrate a selection of work recently for sale. Every picture is captioned, often with additional information on the artist or the picture itself, and each is given a value, with some pictures at surprisingly affordable prices. For ease of reference the guide is arranged alphabetically by artist. This year the Pictures Price Guide highlights Botanical and Flower Art, Canadian Art, Celebrity Art, Equestrian Art, Theatre Designers, and Urban Art: London and New York. The guide also includes a bibliography, a selected glossary, directories of auctioneers, galleries, and specialists and a directory of museums. Miller's Pictures Price Guide 2005 is a book that no art lover can afford
