Art Index Retrospective

Art Index Retrospective enables users to access over half a century of art literature with ease. In addition to the leading English-language art journals, Art Index Retrospective also covers a host of publications in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch, as well as important yearbooks and select museum bulletins.

This unique resource guides users to contemporary criticism of art at the time of its debut, helps them track the body of work of an individual artist or an entire movement, and ensures fast, flexible access to artists’ interviews, commentaries, and more.

This database offers:
  • High-quality indexing by in-house art experts of almost 600 publications over 55 years, many of them peer-reviewed (visit our Journal Directory for a searchable list of the journals covered).
  • Coverage of fine, decorative, and commercial art.
  • Citations to over 25,000 book reviews.
  • Indexing of art reproductions to help researchers in focusing on a single artist or on individual works.
