Welcome to Norton Art!
As the world's largest independent, employee-owned publisher, we at Norton take pride in the partnerships we've forged with other independent presses, including nearly 50 years of distributing titles from renowned art publisher Thames & Hudson. In 2026, we were pleased to welcome the college list of Thames & Hudson into our publishing program, including the best-selling art appreciation text, Gateways to Art, the groundbreaking art history survey, The History of Art: A Global View, and the brand-new Concise History of Art: A Global View. Visually dynamic and carefully researched, these texts prioritize flexibility and a diverse, global perspective, and are supported by Norton’s interactive courseware, InQuizitive and the Norton Illumine Ebook.
