About ArtHist

ArtHist is an inter-university, public, non-for-profit institution for publications and discussions concerning art history. The network is open for contributions on all artistic genres, media, and periods. Adhering to an open conception of "art", the list is not limited to the conventional interests and approaches of academic art history. In particular, it invites critical contributions on pictorial tradition as an aspect of a larger visual environment. 

ArtHist maintains an e-mail discussion list (H-ArtHist) that is refereed and edited by an independent board, which may also commission contributions. 

To promote discussion, the board members will collect and evaluate publications in the media, scholarly journals or on the Internet. Essential aspects of the editorial board's policies are formulated in the H-Net constitution and by-laws.  

All messages posted by H-ArtHist are stored and can be found on our archive + search page. The archive is free and open to everyone.

Recent reviews are also published on our documents pages. The webpages also offer reference and link collections.

ArtHist.net was launched in Hamburg in 2001 by Claudia Sedlarz, Iris Mahnke, Joachim Homann, Rainer Donandt, and Matthias Bruhn.
