Abstract: With forty sessions, more than three hundred papers and three âblockbusterâ keynotes, the Annual Conference for Art History and Visual Culture co-hosted by the Courtauld Institute of Art and Kingâs College, London on 5â7 April 2018 was the biggest the Association of Art Historians (AAH) has mounted to date. Bringing together researchers in all aspects of art history and visual culture, including film, craft and performance, the three intensely packed days offered something for everybody, and more besides. There were sessions on what we commonly think of as âart historyââdiscussions of portraiture, medieval and early modern art, techniques of painting and so on; but there were also panels on film, music, performance and even medicine. The proximity of the events to the treasures of the Courtauld Gallery, exhibitions of contemporary work in the Somerset House galleries, and an exhibition on The Classical Now in Kingâs College ensured a variety of activities, and invaluable spaces for both discussion and reflection.
