Our Department now teaches Contemporary Art (history) on a global scale. I would like to now focus on Canada as books on that subject do not seem to be in vendor databases often (except for Worldwide Art Books). Since I was once told by Mary Williamson some years ago that I should become an “honorary” member of the Canadian contingent of ARLIS/NA, I am hoping that my Canadian colleagues (including those in Montreal) can help me with this question. > > What are the top books on contemporary art / artists in your country. By top, I mean, as art librarians in Canada, what are the top books and exhibition catalogs published since 2000 that you can think of and share with me. I do want to be inclusive and diverse, including Inuit and practicing Native American Indians. I realize this question is ptobably overwhelming, but I am asking my colleagues because you know what the “best” titles are. > > Along those lines, what are the currently running biennials in Canada? > > Thanks so very much, Ray Anne Lockard > > Bibliographer and Public Services Librarian > Frick Fine Arts Library > University of Pittsburgh > Pittsburgh, PA 15260 > Voice-mail: 412-648-2410 > E-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> > "A book should be a ball of light in one's hands."
