Enough art books to rival any expensive school have been archived online by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. And best of all, it’s all available to download for free.
Over 200 books have been added to the online catalogue, including works exploring the art of Kandinsky, Holzer, Lichtenstein, Picasso, Rothko, Flavin and many more. Books range from pop art to Aztec artifacts, gender performance in photography, Russian Constructivism and dualism championed by Italian artists, the constructive art of Swiss Hans Hinterreiter and youth art that defined the American 80s.
