Century Guild's mission is to inspire and educate through beautifully crafted art books that document and preserve rare, historically significant artworks.
Focused on art education and the preservation of art history, Century Guild publishes fine books designed as exciting presentations of rare artworks: beautiful art exhibitions on paper that you can hold in your hands, and revisit time and time again.
Founded in 1999 by artist and historian Thomas Negovan, Century Guild held physical art galleries in Chicago and Los Angeles, presented hundreds of exhibitions, and for more than a decade was a major exhibitor at San Diego Comic Con International. Works from the Century Guild collection have been exhibited in important museums and institutions including Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
Many of the artworks in our collection are the only known copies remaining. In other cases, only a handful remain, and very often they do not exist on the internet in any form. Each of our books are a unique journey through over two decades of mindful collecting and curation.
