TWENTY 21 BOOKS
FINE ART BOOKS, ARTISTS' PUBLICATIONS & EPHEMERA
COLLECTIONS / LIBRARIES
Twenty 21 Books specialises in the discovery, acquisition and placement of significant libraries, archives and collections of fine art books, artists' books and printed matter. We believe that a collection can offer a unique insight into the intellectual, creative and cultural world of its owner, revealing the influences, relationships and ideas that shaped a particular practice, career or period.
We work with private collectors, artists' estates, galleries, institutions and families to understand, value and develop collections with care. Whether a collection comprises a focused group of artists' books or an extensive working library built over decades, we provide discreet advice on its significance, market and potential routes to sale, acquisition or preservation.

ART & DESIGN BOOKS, ARTISTS' PUBLICATIONS & EPHEMERA
COLLECTIONS / LIBRARIES
Our collections service can include identification, research, provenance, cataloguing, photography, valuation and strategic dispersal. Where appropriate, individual works of particular importance can be offered privately, while other material may be presented through carefully curated auctions or thematic groups. Our approach is designed to respect the integrity and history of the collection while ensuring that each work finds the right audience.
We are particularly interested in collections that tell a story. An artist's personal library, a designer's references, a photographer's working bookshelves, a dealer's archive or a curator's record of exhibitions can all provide a fascinating record of cultural history. Bruton Art Books seeks to preserve and communicate these stories, connecting significant collections with collectors and institutions who will recognise their importance and carry them forward.
