American Art Review Study Project
About the project
A special TFAO emphasis is building an archive of material, authored by scholars and other informed individuals, beneficial for the study of art history in the United States. As a public service, without charge to readers, TFAO annually publishes a number of scholarly texts relating to American representational art in its publication Resource Library.
Resource Library's chronological index lists thousands of articles and essays published since 1997 for the public's benefit. TFAO has identified many more texts as candidates for online publishing. Long term goals of TFAO are to encourage owners of catalogue texts to provide free public access to them on their web sites and for TFAO to provide access on its web site to texts from rare catalogues and others not easily available elsewhere.
Since 2004 TFAO has studied issues of American Art Review to find articles from that magazine and related catalogue essays of benefit to the public. TFAO contractors locate copyright owners of American Art Review articles, or catalogue essays from which those articles were derived, and secure permission to reprint the texts, usually without illustrations. The paper-printed texts are then converted to digital files and published in Resource Library.

About American Art Review
American Art Review, ISSN 0092-1327, is published on paper and noted for its scholarly content by both senior authors and younger scholars. Tel 913.451.8801. The time period focus of American Art Review is from the Colonial era through 1970. The first issue of Volume 1 of the magazine was published in September, 1973. Publication was suspended with Volume 4 in November, 1978. Publication resumed with Volume V in the Summer of 1992 and continues to the present. In the 19th century there was a journal with a similar title, The American Art Review: A Journal Devoted to The Practice, Theory, History and Archaeology of Art edited by S.R. Koehler.
American Art Review provides a useful yardstick to measure annual scholarly output relating to museum exhibitions and other happenings concerning American art. Texts relate for the most part to contemporaneous museum exhibitions. The publication does not attempt, however, to cover all exhibits during a year. Since American Art Review editors are distinguished in the field of art history, the exhibits and contributing authors vetted by them for inclusion in the publication are of significance.
American Art Review Volumes V through X are presently the core study period.
