Abstract

Much of the research which has been carried out in the field of art history would have been impossible without the use of art sales catalogues. Furthermore, the use of historical art sales catalogues would never have been possible without the impressive four-volume reference work, Répertoire des catalogues de ventes publiques intéressant Vart ou la curiosité, created by Frits Lugt. IDC Publishers have combined the strengths of both in their new publication.
