Lapis: The Journal of the Institute of Fine Arts seeks articles for its Spring 2019 inaugural issue!
Lapis is a peer-reviewed, open access journal on art history, architecture, and art conservation published by the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University. Lapis is dedicated to scholarly articles on art history from all fields with an emphasis on publications from graduate students and early career scholars internationally. In considering art history as a trans-temporal and interdisciplinary practice tightly linked to material culture, Lapis strives to present studies that are broad in chronological, geographic, and methodological scope.
Technical art history submissions should emphasize how a better understanding of materials and craftsmanship influence our interaction with, interpretation, presentation, and preservation of works of art. Papers bolstered by evidence derived from scientific analysis, specialized imaging, and conservation treatments are particularly encouraged.
Articles between 4,000 and 5,000 words by graduate students and scholars within three years of graduation are welcomed. All submissions must be formatted in .doc or .docx documents and should be double-spaced and in 12-point Times New Roman font. Lapis cannot accept .pdf submissions. Please note we practice blind peer review; please only include author name on the title page and ensure all other documents and materials are free of identifying information.
All submissions should include the following attached as separate documents:
Abstract (maximum 350 words)
Title page with author’s name, title, institutional affiliation (or year of degree conferral), contact information, and brief biographical statement (maximum 100 words)
Article (maximum 5000 words, excluding footnotes)
List of illustrations and captions
