Oxford University Press launches major new encyclopedia: The Grove Encyclopedia of American Art

 

Oxford University Press (OUP) is pleased to announce the launch of a major new encyclopedia of American art and architecture. This long-term project will result in an entirely new and comprehensive encyclopedia of American art reconceptualized with new methodology and topics significant to American art today. One decade after the publication of the landmark Dictionary of Art (1996, 34 vols), OUP embarks on another ground-breaking art historical project. This five-volume publication will draw upon Grove Art Online’s (www.groveart.com) content, and will expand, update, and add hundreds of new entries on subjects, such as Public Art, Digital Art, Romare Bearden, Daniel Libeskind, Roger Crum, and more.

 

The encyclopedia will be headed by Joan Marter, Distinguished Professor of Art History at Rutgers University. Dr. Marter has published widely on American art, modern art, and women artists, including her most recent publication Abstract Expressionism: The International Context (Rutgers, 2007). Dr. Marter is editor in chief of the prestigious Woman’s Art Journal and has received numerous grants and awards including, Pollock-Krasner Foundation/Stony Brook Research Fellowship, Getty Research Institute Grant, Whitney fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the George Wittenborn Award (ARLIS/NA). She serves as the executor of the estate of American sculptor Dorothy Dehner, and has also served on the board of directors of the College Art Association.

 

The Grove Encyclopedia of American Art is the recipient of a generous three-year grant from the Henry Luce Foundation.

 

We invite the original contributors of Grove articles as well as new scholars to participate in this monumental American art project. Please email me with your complete contact information and areas of expertise should you wish to update, revise, or write articles for the encyclopedia and/or if you would like more information.

 

Sincerely,

 

Christine Kuan
