WITT LIBRARY PUBLICATION
CHECKLIST OF BRITISH ARTISTS C.1200-1990 REPRESENTED IN THE WITT LIBRARY
 
The British School (covering English, Irish, Scottish & Welsh artists)
represents the largest national collection of the Witt Library of the
Courtauld Institute of Art. The Witt Library contains some 300,000
photographs and other illustrations of British paintings, drawings and
engravings from the end of the Middle Ages to the present day.
 
"The Checklist of British Artists c.1200-1990" provides names, variant
names, life dates, locations of birth & death, professional association
and an indication of the size of the library's holdings for some
14,000 British artists who are represented in the Library. Owing to the
strength of the Witt Library's holdings of many minor and very minor
artists, unique information is provided for many artists who cannot be
traced even in a wide range of other reference dictionaries.
 
"The Checklist of British Artists" has been complied from the Witt
Computer Index, using the Authority File structure of a relational
database that currently also contains a full catalogue raisonne entry
and subject classification for all works of American art held by the
Witt Library (more than 50,000), a growing selection of similar full
records for British 18th Century art (currently 45,000) and checklist
entries for all artist's names in the American, Australian, British,
Canadian & New Zealand schools. The Witt Computer Index is a collaborative
project of the Witt Library and the Getty Art History Information Program
(AHIP) which has supported the publication of this volume.
