caa.reviews at Ten Years
Christopher Howard is editor of CAA News.
In October 1998, CAA launched its first online journal, caa.reviews, published at www.caareviews.org. Founded by Larry Silver of the University of Pennsylvania and Robert Nelson of Yale University,1 the journal has since reviewed more than 1,100 books, exhibitions, and more. Ten years ago, art and scholarly publishers were strug- gling. Few magazines or newspapers were giving serious atten- tion to reviewing art books. The Art Bulletin and Art Journal were nearly alone, and they could review at most about several dozen books per year each. Meanwhile in academia, art scholar- ship was flourishing, but new publications couldn’t get the peer A recently published exhibition review of The Color of Life: Polychromy in Sculpture from assessment they needed.

At that time, he and Silver regularly read commissioning reviews. Nelson, Silver, and Kinney enlisted two scholarly reviews distributed electronically. Founded in the library and computer expertise of Katherine Haskins, then 1993, the Medieval Review sent its reviews via an email listserv at the University of Chicago libraries,2 for technical issues (its archives are found at http://quod.lib.umich.edu/t/tmr).

The art publishing world took notice of the journal, and in the ensuing years blurbs from caa.reviews began appearing in print advertisements and on publishers’ websites, alongside Larry Silver, cofounder of caa.reviews, editor-in-chief from 1999 to 2005, and current field quotes from reviews in more established publications. “I am editor for books in Northern European art pleased to see that our reviews are being cited by scholars and quoted by publishers just as much as print reviews,” Silver have his book reviewed well and quickly, while there was still a said. “After a decade of activity, we certainly do seem to be chance to discuss ideas freshly.” taken seriously and regarded as a peer institution of other aca- demic journals.” THE NEW MEDIUM EXHIBITION REVIEWS At first caa.reviews felt resistance about scholarly writing on the internet.
