The “Centennial Anthology of The Art Bulletin,” developed by Natalie Boymel Kampen with the assistance of the editorial board marked the 2011 CAA Centennial. Many of these articles mark key moments in the intellectual development of the discipline of art history; some mark key moments of social, structural, and infrastructural development; explicit, directed involvement with the formation of the field is evident from the very first issues of the journal. This project builds upon the foundation of these “greatest hits” to celebrate 2013 as the centennial year of the Art Bulletin, and explore new possibilities for publication and scholarly activity for the journal.

This project, “The Art Bulletin and Art History: Past and Future Engagements,” selects three “hits” for contextualization. Each article has been opened up to exploration through archival images and databases, brief videotaped interviews (both archival and commissioned), biographies, links to related articles and essays (possibly organized on a timeline) and to archives, and, in some instances, through statistics. With these features the project invites comparisons to, and stresses resonances with, the content of today’s journal and its continued supportive role in the structure of the discipline.
