Available for sale: a selection of exhibition catalogues from the 1980s - 2000s
The Annex Galleries 2025
In the over 50 years of doing exhibitions here at the gallery we have done many catalogues and checklists, a number of these published in printings that exceeded our mailings. Many of these entries were groundbreaking, sometimes the first biographies and exhibition by the artists. A few are now well known and now included in modern art books, many others are still obscure. These catalogues can still be useful to the collector and researcher to provide a foundation for the many of these printmakers.
A collection of illustrated exhibition catalogues published by the Annex Galleries from the 1980s to the 2000s. Included are works from the Impressionist to Arts and Crafts to Surrealist to Abstract Expressionist movements. Included are a stand-alone catalogue on the etchings of J.A.M. Whistler and a checklist of self-portraits by American cartoonists and comic book artists.
These catalogues are offered for sale at $20.00 each and a $5.00 packaging and shipping charge.
Catalogues are arranged chronologically from earliest to latest.
