Edited by Joan Marter  Distinguished Professor of Art History at Rutgers University  the five-volume Encyclopedia reconceptualizes American Art from the vantage point of the twenty-first century with a new methodological approach and broader scope than any such work published to date. The project takes a fresh look at what American art is  how it is defined  and who influenced it and produced it  and it offers a new foundation for scholarship for decades to come.  Taking the American art content from Grove Art Online as its starting point  the Encyclopedia contains entries that were reviewed  revised  and updated as well as hundreds of new entries that comprise an up-to-date survey of this essential and ever-growing area of art history. It covers American painting  architecture  sculpture  and photography from the Pre-Columbian sources to the colonial period to the twenty-first century devoting coverage to many previously underrepresented areas of inquiry  including African American artists  Asian American artists  and Native American art  both historical and contemporary. Artists  major movements  institutions  critics  and the architecture found in major cities of the United States are covered  as are new media and methodologies  including digital art  performance art  and installation art.
