An exhibition catalogue is a publication that documents an art exhibit, showcasing images and information about each piece in the display. It often includes essays or commentary from curators, artists, or critics, as well as biographical information on the artist(s) featured in the show. The purpose of an exhibition catalogue is to provide a permanent record of the exhibit, as well as to offer additional context and insight into the works displayed. It can serve as both a reference for those who were unable to attend the physical exhibition, and as a keepsake for those who did.
