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 study of replicative media and failure. His essays have appeared in Word and Image, Res, Artforum, and the Burlington Magazine, and his first book, The City Rehearsed, was the recent recipient of support from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. A second 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 been a fellow at the Getty Research Institute, the Centre Canadien d’Architecture, and the Kunsthistorisch Instituut, Leiden. In the academic year 2008-9 he will teach new courses on Albrecht Dürer and the movement of art.
