Dear all, I’ve set up this blog in response to a number of requests to speak about art historical research and methodologies, also in relation to a series of inquiries concerning my new book on Shimon Attie’s work in Berlin. Of course, I welcome your feedback, questions and commentary on any of the material that appears here. The photograph below is of one of the few buildings in the Scheunenviertel district that remains in its ‘1990s condition.’ The vast majority have been renovated to contemporary standards although I see that the graffiti elements (so common in Berlin) are increasingly appearing on the new structures.
