Journals that regularly, or with relative frequency, contain material on Art Theft







REGULAR UPDATES OF THIS LIST

IFAR Reports. New York: International Foundation for Art Research:
This newsletter is published 10 times per year. It covers articles on art theft, authentication and fraud, as well as containing a stolen art alert. It also provides a catalog of art theft reports and recovery listings. It was formed by the merger of Art Research News and the Stolen Art Alert. It supersedes the Art Theft Archive Newsletter.

The remainder of the journals listed here are not browsable on a regular basis. However, when antiquities theft does occur, these are the journals most likely to contain pertinent information. The law journals included at the end are browsable on a fairly regular basis for topical information as trials about the ownership or the reparation of antiquities are of a fairly long duration and can result in the development of new laws.
