You could start by looking at the on-line reference guide for Islamic art
which I put together for our library's website. In addition to reference
tools in the classic sense, it also includes titles of the most important
monographs dealing with specific subject fields and cultural/geographic
regions in the visual arts of the Islamic world:
Annotated bibliography by subject -
http://hcl.harvard.edu/finearts/IslamicReference/reference.html
Annotated bibliography by cultural or geographic region -
http://hcl.harvard.edu/finearts/IslamicReference/refregion.html
I hope you find it useful. If you have any questions, comments
or suggestions, please feel free to contact me directly.
