through classic livres d'artiste of Manet, Picasso
and Matisse, and all aspects of the modern avant-garde, from
dada and surrealism, futurism, and constructivism, to pop,
fluxus, conceptualism, and contemporary artists
books.
As well as books, Ars Libri offers exhibition catalogues and art
periodicals of all kinds, in all languages. We publish
catalogues
of our stock regularly, and are glad to send them on request, free of
