ART OF ILLUSION - DAN KARLHOLM KARTONIERT (TB)

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.
