What is an exhibition review? Exhibition reviews foster critical dialogue and help shape future art history. They both inform potential viewers and document the cultural landscape of a city’s art world. Reviews are valuable sources for researching emerging artists not yet covered in scholarly literature, as well as for understanding the reception of established artists over time. They appear in major newspapers, peer-reviewed journals, and critical art magazines. This page offers resources for locating and writing exhibition reviews.
Below are just a few examples of exhibition reviews with various date ranges in various arts journals/publications to give you a sense of content, presentation, writing style, and critical analysis.
Search Tip: If you know the name of the exhibition, use that in your search strategy. If you are not sure but know the artist you want to find exhibition reviews on/about, then type the name of the artist in your search AND a keyword "review*" which will search for reviews.
