Description

The Watermill Center Library is open to researchers, artists, students, and visitors year-round. The print collection is comprised of approximately 9,000 titles, including bound volumes, exhibition catalogs, and periodicals. A singularly unique and unifying thread that connects the varied resources is the artistic direction of Robert Wilson. The Library collection allows one to gain a better understanding of traditional and contemporary art-making practices from around the world. The cultural diversity of subjects ranges from ancient art to modern and contemporary visual art, architecture, design, and performance. Special collection focal points include theater, dance, and music; tribal arts of Africa, the Americas, Asia, and the South Pacific; and photography. The library contains many rare books and limited editions, as well as international publications on Western and non-Western art. Alongside materials on Robert Wilson and his collaborators, one finds research books used by Wilson; these inform a visual vocabulary found in his productions, such as Einstein on the Beach and the CIVIL wars.
