Showing posts with the label 1001 paintings to see before you die

best art you've never seen

my boyfriend gave me a book for christmas called the best art you've never seen .  i found the book fascinating since it also lists why you've never seen it!  this was reasons varying from being a private collection to being too "fragile" for viewing! i also have a new update on 1001 paintings you need to see.  i saw 3 in seattle!  you can see the updated list! here is the list !

1001 paintings to see before you die

i recently found this book, 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die by Stephen Farthing.  it contains a list of paintings from pre-1400s to current 2000s screened by experts in the field.  i love it!    i have converted all of the paintings in the book into an excel as i start to track which ones i have seen!  i have currently viewed 241 out of 1001, so i am riding right around 24%.   take a peek at which ones are on the list !
