I agree - the description sounds like WWAA, although it didn't cover trends. (Perhaps the August Art in America issue, that covers upcoming exhibitions, could fill that part of the question.) We were notified in December 2017 that it had ceased with the 2016 edition. Sigh, another one bites the dust.

The most recent edition is 2016. The first volume published was for 1935.

The patron who made the request seems to have run across such a work some time ago, but I have no idea what resource he is talking about. I'm hoping someone on this list might know how to find such an encyclopedia that received yearly updates on the current trends in art and provides basic information about American artists. Thanks!
