The Benezit Dictionary of Artists (in French, Bénézit: Dictionnaire des peintres, sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs) is an extensive publication of bibliographical information on painters, sculptors, designers and engravers created primarily for art museums, auction houses, historians and dealers.
It was published by Éditions Gründ in Paris but has been sold to Oxford University Press.
After the elder Bénézit's death the editors were Edmond-Henri Zeiger-Viallet [fr] (1895–1994) and the painter Jacques Busse [fr] (1922–2004), the younger Bénézit having already left Paris and moved to Provence.
[1] Since the move to Oxford University Press, advisory editors and editors-in-chief have been Stephen J.
