NOTES:
This a teaching bibliography which has been established over a number of years with Australian students who have no access to vernacular language materials in mind. It is usually updated every year, but such updating and the range of detail of course varies with particular interests. Please contact the author at the address above with any notable omissions, especially if you can do so on with additions on computer disk, and particularly if the text is available in Australia or has reasonable international circulation. Some countries like Japan often have material in English in obscure academic journals, and some countries where English is an official language like India or the Philippines have extensive writing on - or texts relevant to - the understanding of modern art which are nonetheless difficult to access abroad because of small-volume and / or coterie circulation at home.
Entry is by Country, Topic, and Artist. In some section which give works on specific artists, authors follow the name of the work or artist. Artists who cross cultural boundaries are generally given under contemporary art sections by their culture of origination, although there are no hard and fast rules for such affiiliation, and some categories of overseas artists have been generated where there is sufficient material.There has been no attempt to restrict the bibliography to books alone, but obviously it is not possible to include too many journal articles, book reviews, or notes on particular exhibitions. Catalogues are usually included if little other material is available on a given artist or if they contain general essays. Since some works not dealing specifically with modern art also refer to its important proto-history in the 19th and early 20th centuries, they are also included here. In general this bibliography seeks a balance between art historical quality, availability, and relevance. Thus texts of inadequate analytical or art historical reference have sometimes been included since for some art cultures there is little other work available. It would also not have been possible to include reference to all the relevant material in the languages of each area, but some major or available works with short texts or plate lists in European languages are given. However, diacritics are not used. Many areas like modern history or writings on modern culture including literature are included on an ad hoc basis where these are available and seem useful. Further suggestions for inclusion of materials adjacent to the field are welcome.Works given are mostly those available in Australia and chiefly at the Australian National University Library, National Library of Australia, The Canberra School of Art Library, University of Sydney Library and private sources in Canberra and Sydney. In the Sydney area, after holdings of the University of Sydney Fisher Library and Power Research Library, the best source for some of this material is probably the Art Gallery of New South Wales library which may be used for reference during weekdays. There are also quite extensive holdings at the State Library of New South Wales, especially of pre-Second World War books on India including important Indian art journals. The University of Western Sydney, Nepean, has limited holdings in this area. In addition, some university teachers and other scholars may be approached to see materials in their personal libraries.
I am grateful to Michael Fitzhenry for his asssistance in updating this bibliography in 1999.
