The
University of Chicago Press Now Publishes American Art
The University of Chicago Press Journals Division is pleased to announce
that it has assumed publication of American Art, the scholarly
publication of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Beginning with the
March 2004 issue the Press assumed printing, publishing, promotion,
marketing, sales, and distribution of the journal in addition to
launching an expanded online edition.
Published three times a year, American Art remains a leading
forum and resource for scholars of American art and culture. Edited by
Cynthia Mills, American Art is dedicated to the study of America's
visual legacy, spanning from colonial to contemporary eras and all media
from painting and sculpture to photography, architecture, and fiber art.
The journal is distinguished by its rich, color illustrations, and its
engaging style and plain language that make it not only accessible to
specialists in the field, but students and an educated general public as
well.
The peer-reviewed journal, which benefits from the guidance of a
prestigious editorial board, was founded by the Smithsonian American Art
Museum in 1987, and was initially published under the title
Smithsonian Studies in American Art. Though the journal is now
published through the University of Chicago Press, it maintains its
editorial affiliation with the Museum and is unchanged in content and
appearance.
