Abstract

Publishing of art books in the former Federal Republic of Germany expanded after 1945, but with an ever-widening divergence between academic and popular titles. Important scholarship, even when published in the form of inexpensive but over-elaborate catalogues, is relatively inaccessible, whereas popular art books cover the same ground over and over again and leave vast areas of art untouched.
