Artforum Index 1962-1968--Free on-line
version
Dear ARLIS-L Readers,
The Artforum Index:
Volume I, number 1, through volume VII, number 4,
June 1962 through December 1968
Our free, on-line version of the Artforum Index,
1962-1968, is up and running a few days early. We invite you to
see it at http://www.mcgilvery.com
We published the original edition thirty-two years ago in 1970
as Artforum, 1962-1968: a cumulative index to the first six
volumes. This revised, on-line version includes the never-indexed
issues for September through December of 1968. Art Index began
covering the magazine in January 1969 with volume 7, number 5.
The original printing master, set on an IBM Executive typewriter,
was scanned using the latest character-recognition software. Even so,
that process introduced many errors. We have corrected the vast
majority of them, but there is little doubt that at least a few
remain. Different equipment and browsers may produce slightly
different displays. We welcome your comments, corrections, additions,
and even--maybe especially--your complaints. Please visit
http://www.mcgilvery.com and click on the tab marked "Indexes".
Simple linking instructions are available both on the Home page and
the opening Indexes page.
Although Artforum began as a parochial San Francisco Bay
Area art magazine limited mainly to contemporary California art and
artists, it quickly evolved into a publication with ambitions far
beyond the mere reporting of events and trends; it
became--intentionally--a decisive influence on many of those same
events and trends. In the fifty-seven issues from 1962 through 1968
the reader will find crucial documents and articles on Abstract
Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimal Art, and a host of competing movements
and styles, along with important reappraisals of everything from Dada
and Surrealism to naive art to Viennese Expressionism and the figure
in art.
Within the next several months we intend to produce a similar
free index to all of High Performance magazine (Nos. 1-76 + one
special issue, February 1978 through Fall 1997). Meanwhile, we can
supply back copies of most issues of both Artforum and High
Performance, as well as many other art periodicals.
Cordially,
Laurence McGilvery
