John Castagno's Artists' Signatures and Monograms have become the standard reference source for galleries, museums, libraries, and collectors around the world. In African, Asian and Middle Eastern Artists Signatures and Monograms From 1800: A Directory, Castagno has collected the signatures and monograms of artists from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East¿including signature examples of artists from China, India, Japan, South Africa, Israel, and many other countries. In addition to the standard signature entries, the book contains sections for monograms and initials, common surname signatures, alternative surname signatures, and symbols. It provides the researcher a reference tool not duplicated elsewhere¿one that will save many hours of research.
