Recommendations from the CIHA Bureau
During the international colloquium Art and Architecture around 1400: Global and Regional Perspectives, which took place at the University of Maribor (Faculty of Arts) from May 9th till May 14th under the auspices of Comité International de l’Histoire de l’Art (CIHA), the members of the CIHA Bureau were able to see for the first time some of the most important Slovenian monuments from around 1400. On May 9th we visited the Carthusian monastery Žiče and some important churches and archaeological excavations in Celje. On May 12th we had an amazing excursion to Turnišče, Selo and Martjanci, Ptujska Gora and Ptuj. We wish to congratulate you on the quality of your artistic heritage in Slovenia. We were particularly impressed by the Charterhouse at Žiče as an example of one of the earliest Carthusian monasteries outside France, and by the pilgrimage church of Ptujska Gora.
We received the impression that the authorities take considerable care of these monuments. Nevertheless we would like to express our concern about some of your policies of restoration. Every intervention supposes an interpretation. We would suggest in any future interventions at the monuments such as Žiče Charterhouse and pilgrimage church at Ptujska Gora, that there is consultation with international experts. These monuments are among the most important parts of Slovenian heritage. Any reconstruction implies a modern interpretation of the past. It is always best to be conservative. In the case of monuments as valuable as Žiče Charterhouse and pilgrimage church at Ptujska Gora we recommend giving priority to archaeological presentations of the actual state of the monument as much of original material as is possible. Reconstructions should only be made in exceptional cases with the full support of the international scholarly community.
We suggest that you consider appointing an international panel and committee of experts who would give advice on the best procedures for treatment of monuments such as Žiče Charterhouse and pilgrimage church at Ptujska Gora. CIHA would be pleased to offer help and assistance in any way.

Call for papers
Art and Architecture around 1400:
Global and Regional Perspectives
Due to the exhibition in Köln Parler und der Schöne Stil 1350–1400 : Europäische Kunst unter den Luxemburgern (1978) art and architecture of continental Europe and its Mediterranean rim have been classified by regional and other perspectives and placed among general surveys of European art history. The researches reached another peak with the exhibitions in Trent in 2002 (Il gotico nelle Alpi: 1350–1450) and in 2005 and 2006 in Luxembourg and Budapest (Sigismundus Rex et Imperator) as well as in Prague (Karl IV. Kaiser von Gottesgnaden: Kunst und Repräsentation des Hauses Luxemburg 1310–1437).
However, the case of the pilgrimage church in Ptujska Gora in Slovenia (about 1400), for example, with its architecture and sculpture of the highest quality for instance indicates that the researches of the international level have not included all the activities in the peripheral territories. These activities pose special problems, which cannot be detected by focusing on leading centers with courts of secular and ecclesiastical rulers.
The proposed colloquium will provide ample opportunity to present artistic production outside major, and much better known, centers, where several known monuments of high quality are preserved; it is an opportunity to attempt solving the questions connected with the transfer of stylistic modes and iconographic motifs.
We now call for papers addressing the four themes listed below. Each presentation should last no more than 20 minutes followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer period. Postgraduate students and junior scholars are invited to present posters.
The deadline for submission of abstracts (300 words) is Monday, May 10, 2010.
Principal Themes:
I.
Centers and peripheries around 1400: economical and social conditions and cultural contexts of artistic production inside and outside “Europe of the regions”.
II.
Private and collective patronage, representation, imitation, and devotional practices.
III.
Migration of artists and/or artistic models? Local workshops’ practices and procedures.
IV.
Global respondents: later reception and perception of the art and architecture from around 1400.

Art and Architecture around 1400: Global and Regional Perspectives
The first international colloquium under the auspices of CIHA in Slovenia will discuss one of the most complex and fascinating chapters in art history: art and architecture in Continental and Mediterranean Europe about 1400, in its manifold regional and global perspectives. Slovene Art History Society, its National committee for Art History and the University of Maribor are kindly inviting art historians from around the world to join the discussion the principal themes of which are specified below in the Call for Papers. The colloquium is going to take place in Maribor, where the study of art history was established in autumn 2009, so new opportunities are offered to expand the knowledge in art history. The meeting of connoisseurs is an opportunity to exchange ideas and experience and to visit some interesting but not enough known late Medieval monuments of highest quality.
