Women in Art, Volume 1

Reinhard Fuchs, author of Women in Art Volume 1, has been a keen art lover for most of his life. He grew up in Austria near Salzburg, and on account of his talent was admitted to Graphic Design School in Vienna. In addition to his art studies, he decided on printing and lithography as a career choice. Since 2002 he has lived entirely for (and partially from) art cooperations and has developed into an art expert with a big heart and true passion for art. In 2009 Reinhard Fuchs published „ART& PRICE Index“, a book in two volumes which exactly lists approx. 70,000 art auction results from the past 25 years to create a list of the 20,000 most renowned and expensive artists of the world. This project also led to the idea for Women in Art:

The author realized that after ten years of painstaking work only 5% of all the works of art recorded by him were made by women. This inspired him to dedicate three and a half years of his life to the development of Women in Art as a new platform for outstanding female artists. Women in Art features 512 female artists and their works from ancient times - the earliest works dating back to 1100 - and the Middle Ages to the present. Oil, tempera and acrylic paintings on canvas, wood or paper, watercolours, drawings, sculptures, installations, design, jewellery executed in various techniques and materials, and photography are presented in top printing quality. The value of the works of art printed in this edition ranges from about €1,000.00 to many millions. This is where the great value of this book edition lies. Collectors and art lovers are the target group of these international book series published in German and English. Volume Two will be dedicated exclusively to contemporary art and its outstanding and upcoming female artists. You are interested in who belongs to the „Who is Who of Female Art“? Women in Art will give you the answer to this question. The book has been conceived as „evergreen“ to ensure that the design and structure will not become outdated over time and serve as an archive for posterity. The concept of Women in Art is based on „looking at pictures“:
after a concise preface with illustrations about the different periods of art, the list of the 512 featured artists starts on page twenty with Hildegard von Bingen (*1098-1179) from Germany and ends with the youngest artist (*1990), Mariana Palova from Mexico on page 533. Women in Art is Reinhard Fuchs‘ first book, and with its high-resolution A4-sized images of renowned female artists from 54 countries and their works, Women in Art is a valuable illustrated book and reference work.
