I have been asked to post the following, from a donor interested in giving his collection to a university library:
I have a collection of books on Jewish art and artists that I am interested in donating to a university library. The collection contains over 12,000 books, although some are thin gallery catalogues. Attached is a list of the collection in three parts: JAI is a list of the general books about Jewish art and artists; JAII is a list of the monographs on individual artists with names from A to K; and JAIII is a list of the monographs on individual artists with names from L to Z. About 100 books will be added to the lists, mostly gallery catalogues, but otherwise the lists are substantially complete (and will be fully complete in a month or so). The artists include painters, sculptors, photographers, architects, and designers. Most of the books are in excellent, if not new, condition, and some are already rare in that condition. I would want them in a special collection with limited circulation to preserve their value. All the books are in archival book jackets or archival Mylar sleeves, so any library markings need not mar the books themselves. -- For more information and a list, please contact Ethan Henderson ( ethan.hender...@georgetown.edu)
