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. The listings for American Art Review presently include Volumes I through Volume XX, Number 6. For Volumes I-XX this index contains the names of included authors, titles of their articles, volume numbers and issue dates. Also see our relatedAmerican Art Review Study Project.
