ARTNews articles listed in the Looted Art Bibliography

The Looted Art Bibliography lists 398 references to newspaper articles, journals, books and monographs about looted art. However, many of these seem to be difficult to find online today, even for major publications like Artnews.*



Where, for example, can one find, access and read the following articles written by Konstantin Akinsha and published in ArtNews?

*In 2015 it was announced that, as part of a merger, "‘ARTnews’ Magazine Ceases Monthly Print Publication After 113 Years" but all the concerned publications were to be online by the end of the year. Did this include archives?)

In the interest of facilitating historical research into the Holocaust, looted art and provenance, it would be desirable to place the URL or DOI where the article can be read next to each one of these references. However, for dozens of the articles in the Looted Art Bibliography, it is hard to see how to do this. There is frequently no URL on the publisher site. EBSCO does not always publish the text. Articles are not necessarily discoverable to Google, even if some of them continue to exist behind paywalls. For certain Artnews articles, even paper copies of back issues can, in some cases, be difficult to obtain.

 ARTnews publishes author archives. We had hoped to find the articles in the Looted Art Bibliography listed there, but did not have success.

Below, for example, are the Artnews author archives for Konstantin Akinsha, retrieved on October 31, 2019
