Listing 5,100 artists, with nearly 10,000 signatures, Castagno gives approximately 25% more information about artists' full names and birth and death dates than any other directory; lists nearly 1,000 artists overlooked by the American Art Annuals; and includes many important 19th-century artists and notable late 20th-century artists omitted in other indexed directories. With 600 listings of prominent Canadian and Latin American artists, and 900 listings of monograms, pseudonyms, symbols, etc. that would be unidentifiable without the use of the book.

...well researched and documented. It is the best volume available on the subject and is highly recommended.
The Antiquer's Guide
...is far the most comprehensive American artist signature directory ever published...Castagno lists over 1,000 more artists than are listed in the next best directory...the first such reference to include sources of biographical, bibliographical, pictorial, and auction catalogue information with each artist listing...Castagno's directory is a must for any serious reference library.
Art Talk
Will be used by anyone interested in art research.
American Reference Books Annual
...will have use in academic, large public, and art museum libraries.
Booklist
Art historians years hence will be deeply indebted to Castagno for greatly simplifying their detective work. Meanwhile, galleries and libraries will find it a useful tool...every bit as important a reference work as both Castagno's previous volumes...
