An important part of supporting art historical research is the provision of specialist literature. Already since the 1980s, the SLUB Dresden has been pursuing the collection focus on literature on art and art history. The collecting activity concentrates on recent and newer art from 1945 onwards as well as on the two subject areas of photography and design/applied arts. 

Since 1993, with the support of the German Research Foundation (DFG), comprehensive special collections of domestic and foreign art literature have been acquired. The collection focus is continuously pursued and the holdings expanded.
