The Art Museum
This imaginary museum created and curated by Phaidon houses the finest art collection ever assembled
The Art Museum is the finest art collection ever assembled
between two covers. This revolutionary and unprecedented virtual art
museum in a book, features 992 oversized pages of nearly 2,700 works of
art. It is the most comprehensive and visually spectacular history of
world art ever published. Ten years in the making, this unique book was
created with a global team of specialists in all fields of art,
including museum curators and educators, who have collected together
important works as they might be displayed in the ideal museum for the
art lover.
Unrestricted by the constraints of physical space, this luxurious book
is organized by innovative color-coded "galleries," "rooms," "corridors"
and "special exhibitions" which display hundreds of paintings,
sculptures, frescos, photographs, tapestries, friezes, installations,
performances, videos, woodblock prints, folding screens, ceramics and
manuscripts that tell the history of world art. This is the only museum
to house Leonardo’s
Mona Lisa, a collection of Rembrandt’s finest self portraits, Velázquez’s
Las Meninas and Picasso’s
Guernica,
as well as ceramics from China, Hokusai’s woodblock prints, gold
artefacts from Peru, and works by Jackson Pollock in one place.
With intelligent in-depth text throughout, explanatory labels for each
artwork, a comprehensive glossary and detailed location maps,
The Art Museum, is accessible for everyone from casual art fans to experts in the field.
'Why buy a mere art book when you could have a museum of your own?... The Art Museum is a colossal tome that, ranging across continents, periods and artistic approaches, sets out to compile the perfect collection. Here, for the man who has everything, is the Mona Lisa, and plenty more as well, from Byzantine mosaics through Benin bronzes to the abstractions of Brice Marden.'
