Founded in 1932 in Berlin, the Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte has become a core document of German art history. Suspended after 1944 and resumed in 1949 the quarterly has been in publication ever since. Launched by the art historians Wilhelm Waetzoldt and Ernst Gall, editorial responsibility has later taken over by Margarethe Köhn, Georg Kauffmann and Reiner Haussherr. Its current editors are Andreas Beyer, Andreas Tönnesmann and Alexander Markschies. Editor in chief is Stephan E. Hauser. The editorial office is located in Basel (Switzerland), where it is incorporated into the Art History Dept. of the University of Basel. Today the Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte is a platform for art historians throughout the world, thus it is open to any periods, topics, and methods. Scholarly articles are published in German, English, French, and Italian.
