Art Index (1984- ) and (1929-84): Art Index cites articles from over 280 periodicals published throughout the world. Periodical coverage includes English-language periodicals, yearbooks, and museum bulletins, as well as periodicals published in French, Italian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, and Swedish. In addition to articles, these databases index reproductions of works of art that appear in indexed periodicals. For example, if a painting appears as an illustration for an article or in an advertisement, these databases identify the work and lists it under the artist's name, with a full bibliographic citation. Art Abstracts offers well-written, detailed abstracts describing the content and scope of the source articles.
