| COLLECTION EMPHASIS | |
| Contents of the collection The main part of the library's collection is about the history of exhibitions and exhibition management, a field that is new and unique among German libraries. Major exhibitions of the past are documented by both primary sources, mostly the original exhibition catalogues, and secondary sources. The spectrum of the collection is broad; entries like World Exhibition, Venice Biennal, Documenta, Degenerate Art, Armory Show, Pressa and West art convey an impression of the range of the collection. In addition, the collection offers works on the history of museums, art collections, general specialized literature and reference works. The library also offers a great selection of art literature, particularly on twentieth century art. Exhibition catalogues of current interest are received from other art institutes and museums. Reference works, current art periodicals as well as numerous artists' monographs give a general idea of modern and contemporary art. Interested visitors who are looking for further information on current exhibitions of the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle can make use of the reference works in the library. The archives of the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle document all exhibitions by means of varied materials such as photographs, slides, files and plans. Links The library of the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany is an institutional member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Kunst- und Museumsbibliotheken AKMB. |
