Dear Friends and Colleagues:
This month Grove Art Online (www.groveart.com
<http://www.groveart.com/> ) launches the women artists update which
has been guest edited by Whitney Chadwick (San Francisco State
University) and Aaris Sherin (St John's University). The update
expands the broad coverage of women in Grove Art Online (now over 850
biographies) by adding nearly 120 new articles and essays on women
artists and designers, and over 120 new images of works by women. New
biographies include Kara Walker, Shahzia Sikander, Hildegard of
Bingen, Valie Export, Guerrilla Girls, Destiny Deacon, Sheila de
Bretteville, Paula Scher and more. New essays cover key subjects such
as Women and Collaborative Practice, Women and Performance, and Women
and Transnationalism. In addition three seminal artists-Faith
Ringgold, Kiki Smith and Jacqueline Winsor-reflect on their artistic
development and the art world today in illuminating interviews.
We are also delighted to announce our landmark agreement with The
Metropolitan Museum of Art for 2,000 images to be included in Grove
Art Online by summer 2007. The timing of this important collaboration
could not have come at a more perfect moment as we celebrate The
Dictionary of Art's 10th anniversary this month.
Finally, we invite you to take a look at a brand new Grove Art print
publication, The Grove Encyclopedia of Decorative Arts (edited by
Gordon Campbell). This two-volume encyclopedia provides comprehensive
information on this rapidly growing subject area with 3,000 entries
and over 680 illustrations. The publication contains 2,000 updated and
revised entries culled from Grove Art Online, as well as 1,000
entirely new entries focusing on the decorative arts.

Many thanks to all of the scholars, museums, galleries, and artists
for their generous contributions to Grove Art. We hope you will
continue to find the growing diversity and depth of Grove Art Online
valuable and enjoyable. Please feel free to send me your comments and
recommendations regarding the editorial program.
Sincerely,
Christine Kuan
