Art history has been at the heart of The Warburg Institute since its foundation. Countless PhD theses have been researched and written using the unique Warburg Library and Photographic Collection. Discussion among peers studying at, or visiting, the Institute has in turn  generated some of the most ground breaking ideas in art history of the past century. The dynamic between study resource and ‘meeting-point’ has ensured The Warburg’s longstanding reputation as the pre-eminent centre for art historical research in the world.

 

    ‘New Dialogues in Art History’ was founded in October 2017 to continue this tradition among the next generation of art historians who use The Warburg and its resources for their doctoral research. It is primarily run as a seminar series by postgraduate students at the Institute and invites PhD students to present and discuss their work with their peers. 

​

The founders are Lydia Goodson and Genevieve Verdigel, PhD students at The Warburg Institute.
