The Art Books of Phaidon Press

AbeBooks: The Art Books of Phaidon Press: Phaidon Press has been one of the pioneers of the art book format since publishing a number of gorgeous books on artists in the mid 1930s. Originally founded in Vienna in 1923, this company relocated to London to avoid the Nazis and then carved out a niche for itself by producing beautiful but affordable publications adored by art fans.

Phaidon’s huge range of titles over the decades has covered both popular and scholarly art. Every aspect of visual art has been showcased - photography, classical art, pop art, the history of art, the art collections of the rich and famous, fashion, architecture, decorative arts, all the major artistic movements and even cookbooks that, of course, are easy on the eye.
