The Story of Art Pocket Edition

The Story of Art has been a worldwide bestseller and in 2023 will be 70 years since its first publication. It is the best and most popular introduction to art ever written, published worldwide in more than 30 languages. Attracted by the simplicity and clarity of his writing, readers of all ages and backgrounds have found in Professor Gombrich a true master, combining knowledge and wisdom with a unique gift for communicating his deep love of the subject.

Updated with a stunning new cover and a specially written preface by Professor Gombrich's granddaughter Leonie, this paperback format allows Gombrich's classic work to continue its triumphant progress for another generation and remain the title of first choice for all newcomers to art and its history.

Sir Ernst Gombrich's position in the art world and his popularity among experts and a wide readership in general are unrivalled. Born in Vienna, he came to London in 1936 to work at the Warburg Institute, where he became director from 1959 until his retirement in 1976. He won numerous honours, including knighthood, the Order of Merit and the Goethe, Hegel and Erasmus Prizes.
