Zwischen Enklave und Vernetzung: Kunstgeschichte an der TU Darmstadt
Art history at the Technical University of Darmstadt looks back on a 150-year history. This anniversary was the starting point for a research project and a symposium, the results of which are presented in this volume.
A special feature of art history in Darmstadt is, that it is not located at one institute, but is represented by two professorships in the departments of architecture and humanities. This volume puts this unusual constellation into historical perspective and argues that it is precisely the status as an art historical “enclave” that has led to intensive networking.
Fair und gerecht? Restitution und Provenienz im Kunstmarkt. Praxis – Probleme – Perspektiven
For the first time in October 2019 the symposium held in Munich shed light on the historically and legally complex topic of Nazi looted art, restitution and provenance from the perspective of the art trade. The conference provided insights into the practice of the established art trade, which stands up for the mediation and preservation of cultural goods on a high level of expertise and responsibility. The publication on the conference "Fair and just?" includes all lectures and discussion rounds of the event. Against the backdrop of the legal-moral tension renowned lawyers, provenance researchers and art dealers examined various best-practice solutions with the aim of enabling the art trade to continue to work in the future.
