Since their beginnings in the mid-19th century, world's fairs have sought to summarize knowledge about the world by compiling presentations from a variety of fields: technology, machinery, crafts, fine arts, and ethnography. Conceived as a mass spectacle, the exhibits blended into a kind of Gesamtkunstwerk. At the same time, they became signifiers of a narrative of technological progress, colonial expansion and artistic innovation. Under the headings 'Gesamtkunstwerk and the Assemblage of Things', 'Technology and Art', 'Gender and Fashion', and 'Colonial Entanglements and Postcoloniality', this special issue focuses on four thematic areas that have so far received little attention in the discourse on world's fairs.

This publication was inspired by the 2017–2019 German/American Provenance Research Exchange Program (PREP). We hope that it will augment our understanding of the role of antiquities in the art world in the Nazi period, the aesthetics of National Socialism, antiquities collectors and dealers in Europe in the late 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, and the various ways in which antiquities changed hands during the precarious Nazi period. The articles also provide a wealth of bibliographic and other resources, as well as a framework for research methodologies that can be employed by other scholars examining works of ancient art and archaeological objects that have a history in the Nazi period.

The Vienna Art Academy has always attracted budding artists from all over the Empire, especially after the reform in 1872. At the same time, the project of the Vienna Ringstraße offered the prospect of commissions. Still, the networks of sculptors in the capital and the crown lands during these decades have not been widely explored. This is not a matter of purely art-historical questions; rather, the national question plays an important role.

In the Early Modern period, the concept of national identity differed greatly from the nineteenth- and early twentieth-century ideology of the nation state. The word natio defined a group of persons unified by common territorial origins and cultural markers such as language, habits, customs, traditions, and confessions. Like no other city in Europe, Rome, home of the papacy, destination of pilgrims, and metropolis of art, was a perpetual hub for foreigners and thus was an ideal laboratory for the formation of national identities and their representation on an international stage.

The field of art historiography under state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe has been little researched to date. In a comparative approach, this special issue examines the interpretative models that architectural historians in Eastern Europe applied to Baroque architecture during the Cold War.

In the Roman world, various traditions of iconic life were present in the period before the icon was affirmed. By examining these, the articles in this issue restore part of the context in which the concept of the icon was born. And they invite readers to add a new perspective on the phenomenon: that of a surrogate for the living iconic body.

This special issue presents new research perspectives on the architectural and interior design discourses of modernity. It questions the complex relationship between the process of artistic creation, society and technology, while also considering the actors and networks implicated in the formation of the avant-garde modernism.

"Gottfried Lindauer – Painting New Zealand" breaks new ground in the debate on cultural transfer processes of the 19th century. It generates new perspectives on past as well as present exhibition regimes, addressing questions of colonial self-presentation and representation, both of which are intellectually intriguing and currently the subject of politically-charged controversy. The dissonance between how the Māori used and valued portraiture and how the West viewed and reflected on the pictorial is discussed, as are negotiations over the documentary and the pictorial.

The special issue “War Graves, War Cemeteries, and Memorial Shrines as a Building Task (1914 to 1989). Die Bauaufgabe Soldatenfriedhof/Kriegsgräberstätte zwischen 1914 und 1989“ originates from two colloquia hosted by Humboldt-University in Berlin and Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich in 2014. The papers of this anthology contribute to an emerging field of research whose scope is interdisciplinary and transnational.

In this special issue you will find discussion of several episodes in the relationship between the fine and the decorative arts, ranging from the Renaissance to the late nineteenth century. Despite this broad chronological sweep there is much in common among our authors' findings. Above all, and perhaps contrary to readers' expectations, each essay contests the notion that fine and decorative were truly opposed in their period.

Grand Tours progressing as far as Italy were unusual among the Scandinavian nobility. Therefore, the visits to Italy of Frederik IV of Denmark had a disproportionately large impact. J. Svenningsen describes the effect of the visits on the taste of a group of courtiers traveling with the Danish prince and traces their ensuing patronage of Italian art. F. Benuzzi studies the less-known patronage of Venetian sculpture North of the Alps, with patrons including Peter the Great, the Earl of Carlisle and the Swedish diplomat and collector Count Carl Gustaf Tessin.
