Journal: Studies in the Decorative Arts
This international, semiannual journal covers scholarly and professional issues in the decorative arts and design of all cultures and periods. Articles and reviews of new books and exhibitions provide a forum for current research, intepretation, and discussion, and set the decorative arts and design in the context of art, cultural, political, and socio-economic history.

Exhibition Catalogues
Accompanying exhibitions are scholarly catalogues published by the Bard Graduate Center in collaboration with Yale University Press. Catalogues cover a broad range of subjects within the fields of the decorative arts, design, and culture. Various methodologies are employed in these publications that illuminate the study of objects, material and cultural history. Frequently they include new color photography and appendices of historical documents.

Scholarly Publications
This initiative is a unique offering of the Bard Graduate Center in collaboration with Yale University Press to publish scholarly books on the decorative arts, design, and related fields. The primary goal of this initiative is to enhance scholarship and foster knowledge among the general public. The selection of book titles is based largely on merit and relevance to the Center's mission.
