The lexicon was published by the Kupfergraben publishing company in Berlin with the ISBN 3-89181-411-9 .

On the occasion of the accompanying exhibition Profession without Tradition. 125 years of the Association of Berlin Women Artists , an extensive catalog was published, in which the artists of the VdBK only appear by name in the register.
