In the mid-1990's select articles are abstracted. Entries in the database also cite selected art reproductions used to illustrate articles and advertisements, under the artists' names. Exhibition catalogs and books are not included, although reviews of each are. Book reviews are included from the mid-1970's onward; the print predecessor of Art Abstracts, Art Index (Art Z 5937 .A78), has book reviews from 1929 onward. As of the fall, 2006 full text articles are available selectively.
