Heinrich Wölfflin – Collected Works
Art theory in the years around 1900 explored the foundations of aesthetic production and reception.

The art historian Heinrich Wölfflin (1864–1945) is still today one of the most influential authors worldwide on the subject. On the occasion of the centenary of his Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe, Wölfflin's complete works are being edited by Tristan Weddigen, Oskar Bätschmann and Joris van Gastel. The critically annotated ten-volume edition of Wölfflin's publications will be published by Schwabe until 2026. Further volumes with material from Wölfflin's archive are planned. The project was funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) until December 2024; it is currently being supported by the Max Planck Society. The edition aims to present the entire scope and discursive context of Wölfflin's rich intellectual achievements, to examine them from today's research perspectives, and to make them available to researchers as print and online publications.
