The Institute of Art History, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade

       

         The Institute of Art History was formed in 1968 as a scientific unit within the University of Belgrade with the intention to meticulously analyze various ideas, matters and directions in Serbian Art History, and its relationship towards Eastern and Western European Art History. The Institute not only collects and files scientific documentation but promotes knowledge and also encourages young scientists and research associates to develop relations with other domestic and foreign Art History institutes.

The Institute is more than proud to acknowledge that for  over 40 years of its existence has accomplished numerous research projects published in over hundred of articles and studies, and in over twenty books, which is of major impact and significance for the domestic History of Art.

Since its establishment, the Institute for Art History has published three series of publications: monographs, studies and materials, altogether counting for 21 academic texts.

The Institute also publishes Zograf, a journal for medieval art, that is considered to be one of the world’s most famous periodicals on Eastern Christian Medieval Art, and there have been 35 issues of this journal published so far.

For over 40 years, ever since its formation, the Institute of Art History has started systematically collecting documentation on Medieval Art in Serbia while classifying it within photo, plans (map), and graphic data. Today, the Institute’s documentation represents a major database for the entire Balkan region.
