Visions Of Never (2009 - Vanguard Prods) 
(edited by Patrick & Jeannie Wilshire) Promoted as being the first of a series of such books (though no more were forthcoming), it focuses a strong spotlight on six artists, previously uncelebrated for their contributions to the illustration of fantasy & science-fiction. Out of 128 pages, 88 each sport a featured large painting and another 30 pull together two or three. 14 of the large-repro pages are utilized to present seven double-page-spreads (of which two suffer because of the center gutter). As each artist gets his own section, the works are captioned with just the title (and the copyright holder, if necessary). As you will see within, each achieving a significant 'well-presented' presence, the artists are: Richard Bober (14), Marc Fishman (12), Paul Lehr (12), Don Ivan Punchatz (13), Robh Ruppel (15), and Mark Zug (14).
