standard reference source for galleries, museums, libraries, and
collectors around the world. Whether used to identify,
authenticate, or verify signatures and works of both well-known and
little-known artists, Castagno's work has no equal. In this new
volume, Castagno has collected more than 1,100 signatures and
monograms of Jewish artists, as well as signatures of artists whose
work reflects Jewish themes. In addition to the standard signature
entries found in Castagno's other books, this volume features
additional biographical information, providing a more complete
profile of the artist and his or her work. All artists are listed
with the most updated information on nationality, birth and/or
death dates. The entries direct the researcher to many biographical
and bibliographical sources not found on web site searches, and
many of the resources offer additional references. Several
individual listings provide gallery referrals and catalog auction
dates, which can be used to buy or sell a particular artist's work.

Covers approximately 250 sales of Old Masters since 1980, with an
average of five listings from each sale. There are 2,700 signature
examples of 1,700 artists. Three sections following the main body
of this volume offer the researcher easy cross-referencing
monograms and initials, symbols, and alternate names. The appendix
includes supplemental signature information on additional artists
whose actual signatures were not available, but whose importance
could not be omitted.
This is the first comprehensive book dealing solely with artists'
monograms and signatures that are difficult to identify. This
volume includes some 5,200 signatures of 3,700 artists worldwide,
with information on nationality and the most up-to-date birth and
death dates, and a broad listing of reference sources. The
identities of artists who sign their work with monograms or
indiscernible signatures are not common knowledge, and
identification has always been a particular problem for
researchers, collectors, dealers, and art and auction galleries.
With special chapters for monograms and initials; symbols and
oriental signatures; Cyrillics; illegible
signatures/monograms/initials and Hebraic; alternate surname
signatures; and common last name signatures.
