|
New Providence, N.J. - March 19, 2008 - Marquis Who's Who, America's biographer for over 110 years and publisher of Who's Who in American Art, today announced the launch of a new Artists' Gallery web site featuring works of art from hundreds of prominent artists.
|
|
|
First appearing in the 2008 print editin of Who's Who in American Art, the Artists' Gallery - found online at www.whoswhogallery.com - is searchable by artist name and media, and showcases the works of many noteworthy men and women in the visual arts community.
|
|
|
"We are very excited about the launch of this web site," says Marquis Who's Who CEO James Pfister. "The Artists' Gallery is an invaluable resource for the art and reference community and will expose users to exceptional artists from all over the country."
|
|
|
The Artists' Gallery features works by accomplished artists such as Ron Burkhardt and John Safer, as well as many others working in diverse media ranging from oil and watercolor to sculpture and photography. Each piece is hand picked by the artist and includes information such as title of work, media, dimensions, representing gallery, personal web site, and artist contact information. Works are also accompanied by the artists' full biographical entries from Who's Who in American Art.
|
|
|
"Because of the visual nature of their profession, many artists' biographies alone may not accurately reflect their careers," explained Pfister. "Now with the Artists' Gallery, those listed in Who's Who in American Art have the opportunity to bring their creations to life - both online and in print - for thousands of researchers and art aficionados to see."
|
|
|
Featured earlier this year at the American Library Association conference in Philadelphia, the Artists' Gallery has already evoked an enthusiastic response. It will continue to be presented at library and research conferences throughout the year.
|
|
|
The Artists' Gallery is available to the public free of charge and plans are underway by Marquis Who's Who to expand the site by adding many more artists in 2008.
