Covering pictures from the 18th century to the 21st century, this guide features a range of media, including oils, watercolours, pastels, gouaches and prints. Arranged alphabetically by artist for easy reference, every picture is captioned and priced, often with additional information on either the artist or the picture itself. The profiles give historical and collecting information, and illustrate a selection of work recently for sale. Special features highlight particular collecting areas; the 2004 edition includes Aboriginal art, dogs, Scottish art, North American Western art and the English Norwich School.
