About Art Consulting Scandanavia
"I think that art increasingly fulfills a spiritual need in our mechanized industrial age. Twentieth-century man is so surrounded by mass-production, by machines and anonymous consumer goods, that his eye thirsts for individuality. He turns to art to enjoy individual expressiveness. Paintings and sculptures, artifacts created by individual hands and conceived by individual spirits, satisfy a craving for personality, for uniqueness... Art has fulfilled that spiritual need for me."
Nelson A. Rockefeller
The mission of ART CONSULTING: SCANDINAVIA, Books on Art & Architecture, is to provide books on the Fine Arts, Architecture, Decorative Arts, and Photography published in Scandinavia. We are continually adding new books to our list. We hope to spread knowledge through the wondrous medium of the printed book and to serve as a facilitator for research and information in our specialized niche.
We import books on the following subjects from Scandinavia to the United States for distribution throughout the world. Our books are sold through museum and independent bookstores; they are acquired by University and Public Libraries and by individuals through our continually updated online catalogue.
