Welcome to Norton Art!
Part of Norton’s rich history as an independent and employee-owned publisher is defined by the partnerships we have created with other well-respected publishers like Thames & Hudson–a partnership that has lasted over 45 years. Norton and Thames & Hudson share similar values as independent publishers, prioritizing high-quality, reasonably priced products that address the concerns and values of instructors. This partnership has allowed for the distribution of visually dynamic and carefully researched titles, like our best-selling art appreciation text, Gateways to Art, and landmark art history title, The History of Art: A Global View, across the United States and Canada. Our texts prioritize flexibility and a diverse, global perspective, and are supported by interactive courseware like InQuizitive and the Norton Illumine Ebook.
