Chair of East European Art History

IX. Internationales Doktorand*innenforum Kunstgeschichte des östlichen Europa

In geographical terms, the chair and research area of Art History of Eastern Europe covers the eastern portion of Central Europe (Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, the Baltic states, former German Democratic Republic) as well as Russia and the other countries of the former Soviet Union, and Southeastern Europe. The focus is on specific manifestations of artistic phenomena and on traditionally close ties with art history in other parts of Europe and beyond. This means that the Chair is one of very few locations to have an integral view of the plurality of artistic and cultural dynamics in Europe.

The chair was lead by Prof. Dr. Michaela Marek (1956-2018) until 2018.
