Modern art has the richest catalogue literature of any field: every important gallery and museum exhibition since the early twentieth century produced a book, and many small dealer catalogues — Marlborough, Galerie Maeght, Knoedler, Sidney Janis — are now scarce documents of what was shown and sold.
A good general history gives the map; the monographs and catalogues fill it in. European-language editions are often fuller and cheaper than their English counterparts.
