Art exhibit reviews is one of document types in the Arts & Humanities Citation Index (A & HCI). Art exhibit reviews in A & HCI from 1994 to 2013 were analyzed in terms of languages, publication output, authors, Web of Science categories, journals, and art exhibit reviews' title. Most of the art exhibit reviews were contributed by only one author. Authors prefer to publish their art exhibit reviews in the same journal. The editor of Magazine Antiques, A.E. Ledes, the editors of Art in America and Connaissance des Arts were high productive authors. Art was the leading subject category with a great majority of art exhibit reviews. More than a half of art exhibit reviews were published in Art in America, Artnews, Connaissance des Arts, Artforum International, and Burlington Magazine. Artists, art, new, world, modern, museum, and collection were the most frequently used in art exhibit reviews' title.
