The Los Angeles County Museum of Art has created a new site, called the Reading Room, to give the public access to rare and out-of-print art publications, according to an article in the Los Angeles Times.
Ten rare art catalogues are currently available on the site, such as "Six More," the catalog for LACMA’s 1963 exhibition on L.A. pop; "Billy Al Bengston," a rare 1968 monograph; and the surveys "Late Fifties at the Ferus" (1968). LACMA plans to reprint more of its publications online as well as produce books exclusively for online publication.
In addition to reading the publications, visitors to this new Web site will be able to perform text searches and download the PDF versions of the volumes, but the content is still limited to noncommercial personal or educational uses.
