Summary: | The first task of this paper is to mediate and review the topics discussed during the conference ’After the “New Art History”’ (Birmingham, March 2012). In addition, this report offers a historising perspective on the phenomenon of the New Art History since the 1970s, focusing particularly on its present appearances – its diverse manifestations in different regions and contexts. Setting this as the background, visions of the current status, recent history and future perspectives of art history as a whole are touched upon. The review was originally published in the Estonian art magazine KUNST.EE, therefore Estonian art history (since the 1990s) deserves a brief case study.
