Haxthausen, Karen Michels, Willibald Sauerländer, Alain Schnapp, and Michael F. Zimmermann Despite its origin in European models, the practice of art history in the United States has evolved into protocols distinct from those of, for example, Germany, France, England, and the Netherlands. Based on the 2002 Clark Conference, The Art Historian: National Traditions and Institutional Practices examines how these disciplinary geographies might be characterized, in theory and practice, in the past and in the present. What is the function of higher education in different national contexts? To what extent does professionalization encourage or delimit critical innovation? How much, and what, can we still learn from each other’s disciplinary practices? Thirteen distinguished international scholars explore these and other questions. 240 pages, 7 x 9 1/2 inches 26 black-and-white illustrations softcover 2003 To learn more about Clark publications, click here. |
