Published bySlovene Art Historians' Society

The Slovene Art History Society, established in 1921 by Izidor Cankar, publishes the Art History Journal. The first number of the journal was published the same year with Cankar as its first editor. Published once a year, the Art History Journal presents the recent research results of art historians dealing with topics in Slovene or international (especially regional) art history as well as the best articles of the students at the Department of Art History, University of Ljubljana.

Tradition and New Challenges

This scientific peer-reviewed journal has one of the longest traditions among Slovene art history publications. The publishing stopped for a brief period of time near the end of the Second World War and for a few years after the war. In 1951 the numbering of each issue of the journal re-started from the beginning. The journal is focused on scientific articles and debates, it also includes reviews, reports and chronicals. The views of authors belonging to different generational perspectives and from international context are published in the journal. From Renaissance painting and Christian Art to Photography and contemporaray art. It follows the recent academic and conceptual issues in the art history theory, as for example the emerging status of curator in the world of contemporary art production. This question was critically and historically debated in the article by Beti Žerovc (The Role od the Contemporary Art Curator: A Historical and Critical Analysis).

International activity

The Art History Journal has a Slovene editorial board and a consulting international editorial board with members from Italy, Croatia, Austria, and the USA. Articles are accepted in Slovenian, Croatian, English, German, Italian, or Serbian language and are published in their originally submitted language without translation. The archive of the Art History Journal from the year 1997 on is also available online in pdf format.
