[ILL-L] Fishing Expedition - any takers?

[Jennifer Correa]

Hi, 

 

I found a John Fu Graphic Design instructor :
http://chat.wcc.cc.il.us/~jfu/digital_design.htm - maybe he is the
artist mentioned?  Worth a shot I guess.

Subject: [ILL-L] Fishing Expedition - any takers?

 

Ok -- I have one of THOSE requests (author=unknown, title=unknown,
date=not sure, etc.) and I've hit a dead end given the resources at my
disposal. If any patient and generous soul out there would be
willing/able to lend a hand, I would be most appreciative. 

Here is the info I  am working with:

I have a patron who had some of his artwork reviewed/mentioned/discussed
in some periodical at some point it, he believes Summer of 1989 and he
wants to track down a copy of the article (having misplaced his). 

*	The artwork covered was a part of the following exhibition:
"1989 "Artitudes", 7th International Art Competition, Art 54 Gallery,
New York, NY"
*	This patron thinks that the article was in either the June,
July, or August 1989 issue of The Art Newpaper. (Actually, he said it
was in ArtNews - but thats not a newspaper, and he says the article was
in a newspaper, so . . . .)  One further wrinkle: The  Art Newspaper (
ISSN: 0960-6556) appears to have begun publication in 1990. The
Preceeding title was "Journal of art", if I have my story straight. 
*	The artist whose work is discussed in the article is named John
Fu.
*	This article is purported to be ~half page in length. 


And this about all I have to go on. My only idea would be to pull, and
thumb-through, the Jun,Jul, and Aug 1989 issues of  Journal of Art to
see if could find an article that meets the description above (failing
that, perhaps the Jun,Jul, and Aug 1990 issues of The Art Newpaper) but
my library does not own this and the online archives/indexing have not
proven useful. So if any kind soul out there thinks they might be able
to help with this fishing expedition, that would be wonderful. Or, if
someone more familiar with art periodicals has any sage searching tips,
I would be open to that as well. I'm a little embarrassed to even be
asking, but this  request is not going away, and I don't know where else
to turn. So, help, thanks, sorry, and I will appreciate any help that
might be offered. 


Thank you,
