I am a senior lecturer in Art history and Visual Studies. My teaching and research primarily focus on the methodology and historiography of art history, aesthetics, and visuality from the 1500s to the present day.

My research revolves around picture frames and especially Swedish frame manufacturers around 1800/1900, as well as art historiography and aesthetics, especially how art historians have approached the birth and conditions of artworks' possibility.

In addition to this, I investigate:

  1. how the theses of evolutionary biology around 1800/1900 influenced art historical thinking,
  2. how art history as a subject was popularized through TV documentaries in the 1960s-1980s.
  3. the visual culture of education

I wrote my dissertation "Image Atlas, Contemplation, and Reproduction: Aby Warburg's Mnemosyne Atlas and the Visualization of Art History around 1800/1900" at the University of Copenhagen.
