International Contemporary Masters is World Wide Art Books’ oldest and a highly acclaimed publication, a large luxury museum-style book, which presents the work of 50 - 75 artists in about 150 pages. The books are juried, and normally there is a participation fee.
The book has an initial printing of 6000 copies and there is also a digital version, which has a circulation of tens of thousands.
The book is distributed primarily to collectors and art lovers and art professionals - gallery owners, curators, art dealers, art consultants, interior designers, architects, etc.
Inclusion in this book brings considerable benefits to the participating artists. Apart from the prestige of being published in a highly regarded art anthology, participating in such a publication gives an artist credibility in the eyes of potential buyers and professionals, and the books are also used extensively by professional people as source books for art for all kinds of projects.
