Le défi de l'objet. Le Congrès de 2012 à Nuremberg

Résumé 0

In the context of the Vienna World Exposition (1873), a group of art historians came together for the first time for an "international" conference. It was not until 1893 that a second gathering of this kind was convened at the GNM [Germanisches Nationalmuseum] in Nuremberg. There it was decided to meet regularly in the future, in order to intensify the exchange of information about current scholarship at an international level.The early conferences had no fixed themes. The emphasis was on exchange about recent research. At first, interest focused mainly on the art of Italy, the Netherlands and Germany. After 1918, however, there was greater attention to Europe as a whole, and then, after 1945, to the United States, as well. This is reflected in the overall themes of the congresses and the titles of the papers presented. The author presents his overall conception for the CIHA congress in 2012 at Nuremberg for which he is the convenor.
