Anne-Katrin Sors

Dr. Anne-Katrin Sors serves as Lecturer at the Department of Art History and Curator of the Art Collection at the University of Göttingen, a position she has held since October 2009. She oversees the scholarly processing of the university's art collections, which have existed for nearly 250 years, with current focus on comprehensive inventory and digitization projects.

She studied Art History, History, and Philosophy at universities in Aachen, Freiburg/Basel, Madrid, and Berlin, followed by a scientific traineeship at the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum Braunschweig.

Her research centers on Early Modern art traditions across Dutch, Flemish, German, and Spanish contexts, with specialized expertise in graphic arts history and printmaking semiotics. She actively investigates the epistemological role of academic collections, particularly through her ongoing documentation of the University of Göttingen's holdings, including current cataloging of Dutch and Flemish drawings and the 19th-century painting collection.

Office hours are held Tuesdays 12:00-13:00 by StudIP appointment, with specific availability during lecture-free periods; student inquiries regarding theses, catalog texts, and certificates must be addressed in person during these sessions.
