Biography

Joe Bucciero studies and teaches on art of the 19th through 21st centuries, mostly in Europe and North America. His work often explores relationships between the visual arts and other forms of labor, politics, and intellectual history. At present he is working on a monograph, New Objectives, about representational painting in 1920s Germany, research for which has received support from the DAAD and the Preußischer Kulturbesitz. His writings on related topics—and less-related ones, such as contemporary art, film, music, and ufology—have appeared in publications including October, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, and 21: Inquiries into Art, History, and the Visual.
