This is not an exhaustive list. Use Primo to find all books on a topic.
Catalogues raisonnés
A catalogue raisonné (trans. critical catalogue) is a publication containing a listing of every verifiable attributable work by an artist in a particular medium or media. It usually covers just one artist, although occasionally it may be a group of artists. In the Charles Seale-Hayne Library these are shelved with other works by or about the artist in question.
Exhibition Catalogues in the Library
The library purchases a great many Exhibition Catalogues which are shelved according to the artist or theme rather than the gallery name. If you are looking for a particular gallery's catalogues then search Primo using the gallery name and the word exhibition.
