All the Beauty at Hand

A Brief History of Hirmer Publishers

Founded in 1948, Hirmer Publishers soon established a name for art books produced to the highest standards. Over the past decade they have become equally well-known in English-speaking countries, with a reputation as one of the most prestigious publishers in this field. This survey of English titles from 2010 to 2020 encompasses a wealth of subjects across the centuries, from antiquity to the modern age.

description

This attractively designed volume documents the work of Hirmer Publishers during the past ten years: since 2010 the list of publications has grown by a total of over 500 titles. True to the motto “Art books that set standards,” Hirmer Publishers are committed to maintaining the very highest quality at all times. This is a book about those who make books and those who sell them, about book art and art books, about partnership with museums and loyalty to authors.
