Abstract
This special issue explores the methodological legacies of East German art history. Centering Peter H. Feist's foundational publication on "Principles and Methods of a Marxist Kunstwissenschaft" (1966), contributions consider the material conditions and theoretical propositions of art historical practice in the GDR, in the 1960s and beyond. Positioning the treatise in dialogue with emerging Leftist discourses in the West and larger global conversations on social methodologies and socialist cultural politics, this issue aims to complicate narratives of the discipline's Iron Curtain divide and reappraise Marxism's challenge to art historical work.
