A colossal tome that, ranging across continents, periods, and artistic approaches, sets out to compile the perfect collection." -The Times "In an age when so much information about art is gleaned electronically, this massive tome, with its beautiful reproductions, is a bold assertion of the importance of the printed page." -Art Quarterly "This tome is chock-full of things you don't often see reproduced on this scale." -The New York Times
