About the faculty
The teaching offers of the department are primarily aimed at the students of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. However, students of the scientific subjects from other universities can also participate as auditors in the department's teaching events. Through the research cooperation of the members of the department, the subjects represented at the department are nationally and internationally networked.

From the very beginning, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf integrated art sciences into its training concepts - initially through "art scholars and art historians" - professorially into the academy life (see list of former professors under Academy/History). Early on, "professors for the artistic teaching profession" were also represented. In 1962, the art historian Dr. Anna Klapheck was the first scientist to be appointed to the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. As part of the redesign of art studies, especially since the 1970s, the spectrum of art-related sciences represented at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf expanded.
