Fine Art Catalogs

Art Scrittura specializes in one-of-a-kind books devoted to art and art collections for the private or corporate collector. Custom designed, illustrated and produced, our catalogs contain photographic reproductions, critical art-historical essays, collection history, provenance, and other documentation as warranted.

Made to order from concept to coffee table, our bespoke books reflect the creativity and passion of collectors across the range of art: Old Masters to conceptual art; Han Chinese ceramic sculptures to toy cars; Photorealism to contemporary expressionist painting; late 20th century Mexican prints to video installations; book collections to antiques, objets d’art and beyond.

To collect art is to be engaged in a creative process that unfolds over time. The private collection catalog charts the history of this aesthetic journey by highlighting the objects that have excited the collector’s eye and imagination. As a collector, whatever your passion and imagination impels you to collect, we are honored to photograph, describe and celebrate between the covers of a fine art book.

Art Scrittura catalogs are biographies of creative life. The works of art that make up a collection reflect the unique visions and sensibilities of the collector. Each work of art has individual significance that acquires new meaning in the context of the collection as a whole.

Francisco Toledo, The Leaf (La hoja), 1984
The Kyron Archives Collection

“Francisco Toledo’s works are amalgams of spirit, sensual materiality and creaturely life. The Leaf (La hoja) is a close-up vision of the insect world and is exemplary of Toledo’s knack for transforming the wondrous world of animals into something that tugs more deeply on core experience: everyday beauty, the instinctual eroticism of life and its ephemerality. Like good poetry, it contains more than an edge of uncomfortable truth.”
