This post is about 3 books I consider unique pieces for their quality and their content. They include modern art master pieces, in these case only abstract master pieces, of three of the most important painters in art history.

 Rothko Catalogue Raisonné

One of my favorite painting artists ever, of whom I recently wrote about his latest London black and gray paintings´ exhibition. The book is a top art book that practically includes all impressive Rothko´s paintings on canvas. I personally believe that this is master collection piece that any good art library should include. You agree with me 100%, don´t you?

Miro: Catalogue Raisonne, Paintings, Volume VI

This superb and again unique art book is number VI of a VI volume collection containing all Joan Miro´s production. The power of Miro´s imaginary, his fresh style, the way he interpreted art in a so personal manner, as well as how he integrated blue color, was maravellous. Who wouldn´t want to own this book?. By the way, did you know that Joan Miro 2012 art auctions where a total success.
