Cleveland Institute of Art's Contemporary Artists Index lists exhibition catalog titles of different contemporary artists or artists groups. You can search by artist, artist groups, museum name that published the catalog or the year the catalog was printed.
The call numbers are for the Cleveland Institute of Art's Gund Library so you probably want to check the Alkek Library Catalog to see if we have the book at our library and to make sure you get the correct call number for Alkek Library so you can find the book on the shelf!
Thanks to Cristine Rom, Library Director for the Gund Library: A Library for Visual Artists at The Cleveland Institute of Art for her permission to link to the Contemporary Artists Index.
Have a great weekend!

Very Mysterious Smithsonian Article About Possible Velázquez Painting
A Velázquez in the Cellar?
Paragraph 6 on page 3 is especially curious. Where did Capt. Charles Hervey Townshend get the painting and why is the angel's head cut off? Why do they not tell us more about the provenance of the painting? I guess it is to be continued...
I can't wait to hear more!

Three Photo Links
I wanted to share three photography related links with you all.2011 SXSW Found Type Photowalk
- A downtown Austin photowalk for photographers, photo, architecture, and typography enthusiasts. Planned for the first Sunday of the week of SXSW 2011, that is Sunday, March 13th, 2011 at 10AM. Meeting at the lobby of the Hilton Austin. See more info if you scroll down below the photos on the link above.
- A photo competition that looks dreamy. :)
- Description from the website: "Established by George Eastman House in 2006, Notes On Photographs is a tool for communication among students, historians, collectors, curators, conservators, archivists, practitioners, and the interested public. The site is an international forum for gathering information that enhances the communal understanding of the photographic print."

Google Art Project - Wow!
The Google Art Project has been announced for about a week now and I am sure many of you have already seen it. But I just had to blog about it. What a fascinating tool! You can take virtual tours of museums all over the world and see art works in them. You can walk through the doorways into the different rooms and hallways of the museums and rotate 360 degrees! You can also view a slideshow of some of the works of art contained in the museum you are "attending." Many of the art works in the slideshow version are in extremely high resolution and allow you to zoom in for tiny details.
For a more critical description see the New York Times article, "The Work of Art in the Age of Google" about the Google Art Project.
And just to see if anybody's out there...what famous essay is the title of the New York Times article referencing? I know a lot of you had to read it in an art history class!
Ciao for now - Tara

Happy New Year! ARTstor tips and tools!
Happy new year and welcome back! Lots to catch you up on!
ARTstor has a few new nifty tips and tools. They now have ARTstor mobile accessible from iPhones, iPads, or the iPod Touch. Features of the mobile version include searching images by keyword and viewing in list form with options of tapping to enlarge or rotate, or open info about the image. You can also view saved image groups but the coolest addition is the flashcard view which will let you see the image and then flip if over to see the info about it. You can use this like a flashcard to study for exams! See more about about ARTstor Mobile.
Another feature useful for exam prepping, is printing entire saved image groups. ARTstor will print saved image groups in list form with large thumbnails and the associated info for each image, making it easy to use as a study handout. You can also save this printable handout as a web page by saving as an HTML file from your browser. See it on ARTstor's news.
To see how to create an ARTstor account, save image groups, and do many other useful things as a Texas State student, faculty, or staff, see my other ARTstor posts on Art & Design Inforama or view my tutorial Creating URls and Power Points from ARTstor Image Groups.
If you would like me to give an ARTstor workshop, please email me, Tara, or leave a comment here. I am trying to gauge interest.
