Als der Krieg kam … / When the war came …: Neue Beiträge zur Kunst in der Ukraine / New studies into art in Ukraine
The volume comprises seven contributions of the Ukraine Forum, which was organized at short notice in response to the Russian aggression within the framework of the 36th German Art Historians’ Day in Stuttgart on March 24–25, 2022. The methodologically differently profiled papers by authors from Ukraine, Poland and Germany deal with selected aspects of architecture and visual arts in Ukraine from the 19th century to the present day. What they have in common is that they all deal with the topic of war and its impact on Ukrainian art and culture in different ways. At the same time, the contributions not only explore Ukraine’s rich cultural heritage, but also seek to make it better known outside the country.
Entwerfen und Verwerfen: Planwechsel in Kunst und Architektur des Mittelalters und der Frühen Neuzeit. Festschrift für Matthias Untermann zum 65. Geburtstag
With his multifaceted work as an art historian, medieval and building archaeologist, Matthias Untermann has made a particular contribution to the study of medieval architecture and its semantics. Not only the objects of his research are frequently characterized by changes of plans, but also his own career: In 2000, Matthias Untermann became a professor of art history at Heidelberg University after having worked as a monument conservator for 15 years. For his 65th birthday, friends, colleagues and companions honour him with this collection of 55 essays, which reflect this change of plans by means of interdisciplinary collaboration.
