Emmanuel Benezit is the original author, this edition was edited and published by Editions Gründ.
From CHOICE:
"Benezit's work has served as a mainstay for art historians,
researchers, collectors, and dealers. Best known for its references
to obscure artists, along with samples of their signatures or
marks, it is the book of first (and last!) resort in tracking down
biographical information."
From Library Journal:
"Bottom Line: This authoritative and useful work is the standard
biographical listing of artists, outdoing similar resources in both
size and scope."
From ARTnews, Summer 2006:
"..one of the art world's more important dictionaries... an
extraordinary achievement."
From Choice Magazine, February 2007":
"...an indispensable replacement for any earlier edition."
From Art Libraries Journal - ARLIS UK & Ireland, March 2007:
"...the largest up-to-date compilation of artist biographical
information in print."
From Art Documentation, June 2007:
"Benezit is one of a handful of publications essential to any art
library, and it has been present as long as any practicing
librarian can remember."
