The Best Art Books to Gift on Sant Jordi
On the 23rd April (the equivalent of Valentine’s Day for us in Catalunya), we exchange red roses and books to celebrate Sant Jordi, the patron saint of Catalunya. This means that usually at this time of year the streets of Barcelona are filled with pop-up book and flower stalls, with a buzzy atmosphere and the air scented with roses.
To celebrate, we wanted to share our current reading list to inspire a thoughtful gift for the art lover in your life.
Here are the current highlights from The Art Büro bookshelf, featuring compelling reads to learn all about the art world...
