Worldwide at ARLIS

If you attended the recent ARLIS/NA conference in Fort Worth, you may have stopped by our booth and browsed some of the recently published catalogues and books on display. Traditionally, Worldwide brings a sampling of titles that is representative of the selections we offer in our approval-plan program, and of the wide range of museums, commercial publishers and art-related subject areas covered in our listings. We feature many exhibition catalogues and other museum publications that are not readily available from most other sources, and noteworthy titles that we feel deserve special consideration. For a complete list of the books that were on display at the conference, click here. 

Snoeck Publishers 

Uitgeverij Snoeck is a Belgian trade publisher specializing in exhibition catalogues and other museum publications on art, architecture, photography and design. The firm has partnered with scores of museums, galleries and other cultural institutions in Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, among other countries, producing an extensive multilingual backlist of titles in French, Dutch, German and English. While some of their individual titles are available through distributors, Snoeck has no formal arrangements for the distribution of their publications in North America. (Note: Santa Monica-based R.A.M. Publications distributes publications from Snoeck Verlagsgesellschaft, but this German publisher is a separate corporate entity no longer associated with Uitgeverij Snoeck.)
