Call for Papers

for Session at 2009 conference of the College Art Association

Los Angeles, California, February 25­28, 2009

Session title: Art and Art History after Hegel

Session chairs: Lisa Florman, Ohio State University, and Cordula
Grewe, Columbia University.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770-1831) was arguably the founder of
modern art history: he was the first to fold an account of art's internal
development into a larger cultural and intellectual history, while
attempting to examine the entirety of the world¹s artistic production and
rigorously explore the differences between artistic mediums. We invite
papers that explore Hegel's importance both to art history as a discipline
and to the history of nineteenth- and twentieth-century art. We are
especially interested in papers on specific artists and works that directly
engage Hegel's Aesthetics ­ including its controversial claim that "art is
and remains for us, on the side of its highest vocation, a thing of the
past."

Proposals should be sent by May 9, 2008, to:
