Art Writing Services

To reach its audience effectively, the visual art world depends on well written communication. Art Scrittura provides expert research, editing, and writing services to artists, collectors and art institutions.

Services for collectors are primarily directed toward the creation of fine art catalogs. We also present lectures and tours of private collections for patron groups, art associations or educational groups.

Services for artists include catalogs of their works, critical reviews, and presentations to accompany exhibitions.

Services for art institutions include exhibition essays and promotional material related to exhibitions and artists.

Francisco Zuniga, "Girl-in-the-Chair," 1978, Lithograph, from "Latin American Artists in print: the Kyron Archives", by Rosemary Veronica O'Toole

Franciso Zúñiga
Girl in the Chair (Muchacha en la silla), 1978
The Kyron Archives Collection

“Francisco Zúñiga introduces us to a sacred precinct of selfhood and presence that vibrates with inner being; his works are gifts of aliveness, consciousness, and grace that transcend the defining strictures of any culture.”

Articles by Rosemary O’Toole

Writing and visual art are two forms of communicating what it means to be human. Experiencing art awakens people to a new sense of aliveness and internal meanings. Writing completes a circle of connection between artist and audience.
