Art historian and curator Catherine McCormack has released a photo book, called "The Art of Looking Up," showcasing the forty finest ceilings in the world. McCormack divides the photo book into different categories based on a structure’s purpose; religion, culture, power, and politics. Core77 shares some photos of the ceilings featured in the photo book. The featured ceilings are grand and very detailed. Truly worth an art curator’s time and attention!
