Exhibition reviews

  • Extremely current resource for locating the full-text of reviews or feature articles in newspapers, such as the New York Times, Washington Post, or Boston Globe.
  • Here is the best way to find art reviews and feature articles:
    • Tips for formatting searches:
      • Use key terms from the title of the exhibition and the museum holding the exhibition
      • "And" is always assumed between search words (renoir impressionism = renoir AND impressionism).
      • Use quotation marks around phrases ("barcelona and modernity"; "metropolitan museum").
  • Use this resource to search for full-text and/or citations for articles in a wide range of journals -- coverage can be very current. Note that numerous art journals are not included in this resource, however. Use this resource to search interdisciplinary or intradisciplinary periodicals.
  • Format searches as for OneSearch and WorldCat.
  • In searches, put quotes around expressions such as "museum of modern art" or "new york."
