Museum and Art Publications

Scholarly books and museum publications are a specialty of Vern Associates. We are particularly attentive to the unique editorial requirements—such as scholarly apparatus and catalogue structure—that make such books instructive, reliable, and engaging resources.

Since clarity of design and accurate image reproduction are essential to both scholarly books and art catalogues, our creative director's background in fine arts informs every project.
