Museum websites: The MFA often includes some basic information about museum pieces on their Collections Search page.
Artist websites: Look out for bios, artist statements, CVs, and press
Wikipedia (no shame!)
Artsy: A resource for images of, and information about, contemporary art.
Hyperallergic: A news site about contemporary art. Also includes artist profiles, interviews, exhibition reviews, and opinion pieces.
Oxford Art
Like an enhanced wikipedia, focused solely on art. Good for finding extensive information about major artists and movements.
Jumbo Search
A portal for searching almost everything available through the Tufts Libraries: scholarly journal articles, print books, ebooks, news articles, videos, sound recordings, and more.
