Professorial Fellows at SIK-ISEA

Abstract

In the autumn of 2008, the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK-ISEA) implemented its plans to expand from a national documentation and research centre for Swiss art to become an internationally-aligned Institute for Advanced Study, an important step in the history of the Institute. The successful recruitment of two of the most renowned art historians in the German-speaking world, Professor Dr. Oskar Bätschmann and Professor Dr. Beat Wyss, as the first two Professorial Fellows marks a sig nificant start to this trendsetting scientific development and an achievement for SIK-ISEA.
