Despite its length, the list does not reflect the full scope of what Barnett Newman read. He was an avid patron of the New York Public Library, and because his means were limited during most of his career, much of what he read he never owned. It should also be remembered that in the years since the artist assembled his library, the nature of art publications has changed dramatically: monographs on art and artists were rare before the mid–1960s, and the ones listed here do not give a rounded picture of all the types of art that interested him. The list does, however, give insights into the great diversity of subject matter that occupied his mind.
On occasion, the artist bought used books; thus, some inscriptions and notations and even perhaps some of the insertions noted below may not be his.
A word on alphabetization: titles that begin with a numerical date are are listed first in each section, and they are followed by titles that begin with a roman numeral. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are recognized in the alphabetization; for example, A Sacred Almanac of the Aztecs precedes Anthropology and Modern Life.
