East Central European Art Histories // Book Presentation and Panel Discussion

The present anthology focusses on the role of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the later nation of Austria within the formation of regional art histories in East Central Europe. This topic has received little attention in art historical research so far. Chapters consider the era of the Dual Monarchy as well as the period after 1989 and analyze the imperial legacies, transnational transfer processes and cultural hierarchies in art historiographies, artistic practices and institutional histories.
