Organisation profile

Research and teaching at the Professorship for Art History focuses on the history and theory of art from the Renaissance through Modernism and Postmodernism to the contemporary period. The art of the 20th and 21st centuries is in the foreground. Beyond the classical objects of art history – painting, graphics, sculpture – diverse forms of visual culture are also the subject of study, such as object art, arts and crafts, design, photography, video, installation, performance and new media.
