Allgemeines Kunst.Re 21-30 Teil 1 Lander

The Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon (AKL), a once-in-a-century work in itself and unique in its comprehensiveness and academic authority, is by no means limited to only the most famous artists: artists all over the globe from Easter Island to Tokyo and throughout the ages from antiquity to the present are recorded in this major lexicon. And - as the title of the work indicates - it contains not only painters, sculptors, and architects, but gives equal weighting to marble artists, restorers, and calligraphers, or craftsmen such as instrument makers, ivory artists, and screen printers, just to name a few out of many hundreds of artistic professions found in the AKL. Its academic advisory board and independent editorial staff guarantee excellent quality of information. Fundamental to this standard are, of course, stringent selection criteria for choosing contemporary artists, precise academic treatment of detailed entries, and inclusion of the most recent research findings in art history. Only a work which is still - in active exchange with art historians all over the world - being published, can offer all this. It goes without saying that the abundance of information contained in each entry is clearly arranged according to a detailed and intelligible structure.
