This website lists by year all Clare Henry newspaper art reviews between 1978-2014. Each year is accompanied by two PDFs: one for newspapers and one for Glasgow Print Studio articles. 

The PDFs contain a selection, around a third or half of total newspaper reviews, predominantly  The Herald & Financial Times, plus Scotsman, Today, New York Sun, Guardian & West End News. The rest can be found in xerox form at the Glasgow Womens’ Library and the City of Glasgow College. None, or very few, of these several thousands of art reviews are available online. This website is an attempt to make the last 45 years of art reviews and art commentary by Clare Henry more easily available to researchers and students. Henry worked as art critic for The Financial Times, Herald, Scotsman and Today newspapers.

Magazine pieces are not here. Her fortnightly Letter from Scotland 1985-93 in Arts Review is available in many libraries, including Glasgow School of Art. Other magazines include Alba, Art International, Studio, Galleries, Art Newspaper, Art Line, State, World of Interiors, Harpers, Town and Country, Sculpture US, ARTnews USA, Ikebana Ryusei Japan, Allgemaines Kunstlerlexikon Germany, Gabrius Italy, and currently Art Work, Art North, 2019- plus ARTLYST 2017-  online. 

Clare has been involved in Glasgow Print Studio since its beginning in 1972, so has covered its exhibitions in detail. Clare’s blog http://clarehenry-artjournal.blogspot.com ran from 2013-18. 

This online archive is discussed in detail in Art North Issue 10-11
