About
Richard is the Editor of the Journal of Art Historiography, which is now based in Birmingham and located at http://arthistoriography.wordpress.com/. This project is run in conjunction with a series of yearly colloquia, of which three have been held so far in Glasgow and the last was held in Birmingham, 26 & 27 March 2012. He will also edit Ashgate's new series 'Monographs in Art Historiography'. The press release for the series is at http://arthistoriography.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/art-historiograph
Prior to retirement he was School Research Professor for the Nottingham Trent School of Art and Design, where he is now Emeritus Professor of Aesthetics and Art Theory. He is also Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Art History in the University of Glasgow, an appointment that he holds until October 2013.
He is working on a monograph provisionally titled 'Gombrich amongst the Anglophones', which is intended to set his work in its Viennese context. He is particularly interested in the development of sematology, first proposed by Heinrich Gomperz and then developed into a robust form of semiotics by Karl Buhler. In relation to that he is preoccupied with the work of the Vienna School of Art History, particularly with a series of problems formulated by Julius von Schlosser and colleagues.
He has edited Gombrich on Art and Psychology (1986), Gombrich's Reflections on the History of Art (1987), The Essential Gombrich (1996), Ernst Gombrich, Dal mio tempo: Città, maestri, incontri (1999) and constructed the Gombrich Archive www.gombrich.co.uk. He has also published books on Riegl and Warburg and many articles and reviews. His publications are listed at www.richardwoodfield.org.uk and a selection of his papers is available on this site.
He has been Secretary General and First Vice-President of the International Association of Aesthetics, Honorary International Vice-President of the Hungarian Association of Aesthetics, Secretary and Honorary Vice-President of the British Society of Aesthetics and Honorary Member of the Italian Association of Aesthetics.
He has edited Point (the British Art & Design research journal), the Journal of Visual Arts Practice and has been Guardian of the International Association of Aesthetics Yearbook Website.
