I studied history of art at LMU and wrote a thesis on "Conceptual Art in America and England between 1963 and 1976" (1988, published in German in 1992).
My research on the history of art since 1945 is archived on the website "Intermedia Art" (URL: http://dreher.netzliteratur.net/). "IASLonline Lessons in NetArt" presents my research on net art (URL: http://www.iasl.uni-muenchen.de/links/lektion01e.html).

My review of Paul Wood's "Biting the Hand" is published on Art.Hist. The artist Paul Wood, living in Milton Keynes, was a member of the Art & Language group of artists founded in 1968. In publications on Conceptual Art and Art & Language, he and other English fellow campaigners have so far been mentioned only marginally. His engagement with English institutions of art education and with themes such as class differences and trade unionism are contemporary. URL: https://arthist.net/reviews/49647

Ramona Westhof interviewed me about Allan Kaprow's "18 Happenings in 6 Parts" (1959) and its consequences for performance art. Deutschlandfunk Kultur, 10/04/2024. Corrections: In 1959 Allan Kaprow used the term happening for the first time in a title (He realized happenings since 1958). The person pressing the oranges was Rosalyn Montague, not Lette Eisenhauer.
