The history of art mirrors the history of humankind, and the study of works of art and the lives of artists illuminates much about our shared past. | The history of art mirrors the history of humankind, and the study of works of art and the lives of artists illuminates much about our shared past. | ||

The main task of art history is to collect, preserve, classify, appreciate, and mediate historic artworks of all periods. It deals with materialized forms of historical interventions that shape the concepts of time and thereby continuously change the character of the present. Art history is continuously in conflict with modernism and defines it in the same moment. ‘Globalization’ can count on a prehistory that goes back before the age of imperialism, but at the same time the traditional concept of art history as ‘Image history’ (Bildgeschichte) is in danger, caused by the separation between art history and visual studies. | |||
