CALL FOR PAPERS

*Art History in Central Europe. The Vienna School and Its Legacy*

Conference: 2 and 3 September 2009

To be held at the British Academy, 10 Carlton House Terrace, London

The Vienna School of Art History has long been recognised as crucial
to the formation of the discpline. Some of its key figures (e.g. Alois
Riegl, Hans Sedlmayr, Dagobert Frey) have been the object of detailed
critical attention. However, scholarship has tended to privilege
authors writing in German. Vienna was, of course, the capital of the
multi-ethnic Habsburg Empire, and many students of Art History at the
University were of Polish, Slovenian, Czech, Croat or Hungarian origin.

This conference considers, therefore, the dissemination and
transformation of the ideas associated with the Vienna School
throughout the rest of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the successor
states of Central Europe after 1918.

Proposals are invited from scholars wishing to consider how the ideas
of the Vienna School shaped the formative historiographies of art
across Central Europe and the ways in which they were transformed when
applied to new contexts, in particular, the political and ideological
imperatives of the new states after the collapse of the Empire.

While the principal focus will be on Central Europe, proposals will
also be considered from those wishing to consider the wider impact of
the Vienna School across Europe and further.

A selection of papers presented will be published in the Proceedings
of the British Academy.

Confirmed speakers include:

Jan Bakoš (Institute of Art History, Bratislava)

Wojciech Bałus (Institute of Art History, Kraków)

Milena Bartlová (Masaryk University, Brno)

Marta Filipová (Nottingham Trent University)

Libuše Jirsak (Gallery of Modern Art, Zagreb)

Ljiljana Kolesnik (Institute of Art History, Zagreb)
