Description
The End of Diversity in Art Historical Writing is a comprehensive exploration of the global landscape of art history, drawing on research from 76 countries. The book delves into the complex issues of Eurocentrism, decolonial theory, and the emergence of English as the dominant language of art writing.
Through a combination of traditional research and crowd-sourced input, the author examines key concepts such as center and margins, circulations and atlases of art, and the origins and dissemination of the "October" model. This nuanced approach sheds light on the challenges of accessing resources and the multiple modernisms that have shaped the art historical narrative.
With its global perspective and in-depth analysis, this book offers a fresh understanding of the art historical canon and its limitations. It is a valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in the complexities of art historical writing.
