In 1957, Thames & Hudson launched what is one of its best-known series, the ‘World of Art’. The series expanded in just seven years to include 49 titles. More than fifty years later, over 300 titles have appeared, of which many remain in print today and are sold around the world. 

In 2020, the extensive and important series was rebranded by agency Kummer & Herrman and updated with contemporary subject matter including volumes on climate change and art, and digital art. Here are some of the current books available in the range.
