With the new millennium approaching, to sketch the wider canvas of the state of art historical research at the end of the 20th century is hardly a realistic objective. For those who like to delve deeper into this matter, I heartily recommend Donald Preziosi's recent critical anthology, published by Oxford University Press, called ‘The Art of Art History’. Here you will find a survey of the major directions in art historical research since the days that Johann Joachim Winckelmann invented our profession, illustrated by appropriate texts chosen from over the whole period of the mid-18th to the late 20th century.

1. For an exhaustive perspective of modern art history at work in its innumerable manifestations, see the 30th International Congress of the History of Art, held in London from 3 to 8 September 2000. Its central theme is - how could it be otherwise in the year 2000? - TIME. The various sections of the CIHA Congress address the historiography and methodology of our discipline, the material histories of works of art as well as the New Moving Media, like film and digitized images. Western- and non-western practices in art history are central issues.
The key themes are announced as ‘Internationalism, Conviviality and Debate', and, typical of the situa tion of art history as I have described it, the Congress is held in the venues of the University of London and the new British Library as well as of several of London's great museums.
