Art of Illusion: The Representation of Art History in Nineteenth-Century Germany and Beyond (Kunstgeschichten der Gegenwart) - Softcover
To survey art history as a whole was a pressing task for a generation of German scholars around the mid-nineteenth century. Their projections of a historicist chain of artworks ranged from textual narratives without illustrations, to separate picture compendia as well as images of a more allegorical kind. Other means with which to picture art history as part of a virtually all-encompassing cultural history were the museums of art erected in Germany at the time, in Berlin and Munich especially.
This book deals with practices of representing art history in various media. This includes post-Hegelian texts and engravings of art history from the 1840s onwards, by Franz Kugler, Julius Schnorr and others. In addition, works of art of the late twentieth century, by Andy Warhol, Anselm Kiefer and others, provide opportunities to speculate on the after-effects and discursive traces of the old regime. Extending the concept of historiography to include not just textual or institutional endeavours, but a host of different images as well, from reproductive prints to pop paintings and visual archives of the digital era, this study is intended to contribute in new ways to a critical historiography of the field of art history and visual culture today.

About the Author:
The Author: Dan Karlholm, Associate Professor at Södertörn University College in Stockholm. His main research interests cover the history and theory of Art History, modern visual culture and museum studies.
Review:
«Karlholm's range is impressive and his command of nineteenth-century intellectual history, as well as contemporary critical theory, is formidable. This study should be getting much more attention than it has yet garnered. Anyone who works in or close to the study of art history really needs to read this book.» (Michael Ann Holly, Visual Resources)
