Gerda Henkel Foundation Fellowship in the History of Art

ABOUT THE FELLOWSHIP

In May 2024, the Gerda Henkel Foundation pledged funding to support one or two Fellowships in the 2025–26 academic year and in the 2026–27 academic year as well—for a total up to €220,000.

The Gerda Henkel Foundation Fellowships are open to mid- and senior-level European scholars who wish to propose an advanced research project in the History of Art. Applicants must have a PhD. 

Selected winners will be offered a one- or two-term in-residence Fellowship at the Italian Academy and will be provided with a salary, a private office, and access to the libraries of Columbia University. Housing and travel allowances will also be included for winners who reside outside New York.
