Auction 1 Collector's Library: Art books, Catalogues and Reference books
By AW Auctions
May 19, 2021
3B, 1st Lyusinovsky Lane, Moscow (Sherwood Tenement Building), Russia

More than 250 years ago, the major auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's began their history with book auctions. We decided that our first auction would also be a book auction. Oh these ambitions and plans... What of them will be realized, only time will tell.


For this auction, we have selected books from several Collectors' libraries. Some books came to us from Yekaterinburg, some from St. Petersburg, and some we found in old Moscow apartments.


We have a very special attitude to books, especially art books, as we work with them every day in attribution and fact-checking, etc. We believe that "book therapy" can help to recover the strength.


We look forward to seeing you at our book auction!  


All books can be export from Russia. Please send us an email if you have any questions re Shipping from Russia.


Please note that the date is postponed to May, 19 2021

Hieronymus Bosch/ Masterpieces of Art Series, 2016

128 pages, colour illustrations, 21.5 by 24 cm


Hardcover. Excellent condition.

Bosch lived and worked over 500 hundred years ago in the Netherlands’ town of ’s Hertogenbosch, from which he takes his name. He is best known for his fantastical, wondrous art full of strange creatures both grotesque and heavenly. The work he has left behind still defies the imagination. Taking account of the latest research, Hieronymus Bosch: Masterpieces of Art gives an overview of what is known of this elusive painter and draughtsman, and reproduces his (and some of his followers’) impressive work, from traditional Biblical stories with a Boschian twist, such as the Adoration of the Magi, to his apocalyptic Four Visions of the Hereafter. His diptychs and triptychs, such as the famously complex Garden of Earthly Delights are covered as well as his stunning line drawings, such as The Wood Has Ears, The Field Has Eyes.

Richly illustrated. English Edition.
