This guide will help you find information on contemporary artists, artists groups, photographers, crafts people, designers, and design firms.
The Gund Library's catalog is part of a shared catalog with CWRU and CIM. After you get the results to your search, if you want to know only what is in the Gund Library, you will need to modify the search to limit your results to CIA's library.
CIA patrons may borrow books from the CWRU and CIM libraries.
Use the library’s online catalog to search the name of the person, group or firm as a SUBJECT to find books and one-person exhibition catalogs. To find books written by them, search their name as an AUTHOR. You might find additional books and exhibition catalogs if you search the name as a KEYWORD.
Are the items you want unavailable? Check the OhioLINK catalog and request the items be sent to the CIA Library for you.
There are many items in the library's reference collection that can be useful when researching contemporary artists. The following are good to start with:
Prestel Dictionary of Art and Artists of the 20th Century. Reference N 6490 .P73 2000
Twentieth Century Artists on Art: An Index to Writings, Statements, and Interviews by Artists, Architects, and Designers. Reference N 6490 .W7 R59 1996
