John Castagno's Artists' Signatures and Monograms series has become the standard reference source for galleries, museums, libraries, and collectors around the world. Whether used to identify,
authenticate, or verify signatures and works of both well-known and little-known artists, Castagno's work has no equal.
In this new volume, Castagno has collected more than 1,100 signatures and monograms of Jewish artisis, as well as signatures of artists whose work reflects Jewish themes. All artists are listed
with the most updated information on nationality, birth, and death dates.
Jewish Artists expands on the standard signature entries found in Castagno's other books by featuring additional biographical information, detailing early life, education, and other facts about
the artists' lives and careers. The entries also direct the researcher to many biographical and bibliographical sources not found on website searches, and many of the resources offer additional
references. Several individual listings provide gallery referrals and catalog auction dates, which can be used to buy or sell a particular artist's work.
The use of Jewish Artists: Signatures and Monograms---An International Directory provides the researcher a reference tool not duplicated elsewhere---one that will save many hours of research.
