Check out today's "New York Times Best Art Books 2017." It's very
inspirational. I reference some very impactful quotes, which reaffirm why we
have art libraries. 

 

Quote from Roberta Smith: "All books are objects, intimate ones in fact,
made to be held and loved. Exhibition catalogs and art books can really
bring on the love. They have more room for the imagination and more images
(hugely important) and they also invite greater expectations. They rise or
fall on cover design and material; proportions and heft; paper stock and
fonts; the way images and text combine on the pages - all of which we start
to comprehend the moment we take hold of an art book. We expect whole
worlds; many deliver."

 

Quote from Jason Farago: "I always read the catalogs of exhibitions I see,
but just as important are the catalogs of shows I miss. If it's done right,
these books can be every bit as engrossing as a museum presentation - and
these days, in a global art world where none of us can catch every show,
they offer an essential guide to cities and institutions abroad."
