Christopher Petty Heuer specializes in early modern European art, with an emphasis upon Northern painting, architecture, and print culture. He is currently working on the Netherlandish reception of Byzantine icons; a translation of an Alois Riegl essay on Jacob van Ruisdael (1902); and a book on movement and replication in the Renaissance. Heuer’s writing has appeared in Word and Image, Res, Artforum, October, The Burlington Magazine, Renaissance Quarterly, and elsewhere, and his first book, The City Rehearsed (New York and London, 2009) won support from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. A third project currently underway deals with image projection technology (e.g. slides) and the idea of German art history. Before coming to Princeton, Heuer taught at Columbia, Berkeley and the University of Washington, Seattle. He has held Getty, Kress, Humboldt, and Clark Fellowships, and in Fall 2009 he was Gerda Henkel Stiftung Fellow at the Humboldt Universität Berlin. Heuer is a participant in Our Literal Speed.
