ABSTRACT
In the title of my text I reformulate the question “Is art history global?” that has been suggested as a starting point of this discussion about the situation in art history today. By so doing I want to point to many difficulties with this question as it is formulated in the title of this volume and to some of its absurd implications in different contexts. If one asks, “Is Balkan art history global?” the question becomes rhetorical, and it is clear from the outset what the answer to it would need to be.
