Oceanic art - bibliography of books and exhibition catalogues
Prepared by Harry Beran, last updated 18 March 2004. With a few entries added later.
• At present the bibliography does not include literature on specific culture areas (such as
Papuan Gulf, Maori or Kiribati). For references on specific culture areas see the bibliographies
in D’Alleva (1998), Fraser (1996), Guiart (1963), and esp. Kaeppler, Kaufmann & Newton
(1997).
• Items are listed under one heading only. E.g. books on New Guinea art only are listed under
heading 10 and are not included under any of the previous headings.
