==Education and career==
Son of the Vienna-born American painter Henry Koerner, Joseph Koerner was raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Vienna, Austria. He attended Yale University where received his B.A. in History, the Arts, and Letters in 1980. His senior thesis, published in 1983 in German titled ''Die Suche nach dem Labyrinth'' ("In Quest of the Labyrinth"), treated the myth of Daedalus and Icarus from Ancient Greek art and literature through James Joyce. After an Master of Arts in English at Cambridge University (M.A. 1982) and a year studying philosophy at Heidelberg University (1983), Koerner received his Ph.D. in art history at the University of California, Berkeley in 1988. In articles written while in graduate school, on topics ranging from early Chinese bronzes through Renaissance painting to contemporary art, Koerner focused on problems of meaning and developed his distinctive technique: fine-grained analysis of the effect images have on the beholder. Koerner used this technique most extensively in the opening chapters of his first art history book, ''Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape'' (1990, Winner of the 1992 Mitchell Prize)—written while the author was a Junior Fellow at Harvard’s Society of Fellows.〔(Debretts )〕
''Caspar David Friedrich and the Subject of Landscape'' became the third volume of Koerner’s trilogy on German art. The first volume, ''The Moment of Self-Portraiture in German Renaissance Art'' (1993), studied Albrecht Dürer’s self-portraits and their distortion by Dürer’s disciple, Hans Baldung Grien. The second volume, ''The Reformation of the Image'' (2004), treated Protestant iconoclasm and its aftermath. While writing the latter book, Koerner collaborated with Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel on the 2002 exhibition Iconoclash at the ZKM in Karlsruhe. He has also curated exhibitions of his father’s work, including a 1997 retrospective at the Austrian National Gallery. In Great Britain, Koerner is known for his work as writer and presenter of the ''Northern Renaissance'' (2006) and ''Vienna: City of Dreams'' (2008). A popular speaker, Koerner has delivered the Slade Lectures at Cambridge (2003)], the Getty Lectures at USC (2005), the Bross Lectures at University of Chicago (2007), the Mellon Lectures at the National Gallery (2008), and the Tanner Lectures in Human Values at Cambridge (2012). Koerner’s most recent publications concern the theme of enmity in the art of Hieronymus Bosch.
Koerner serves on the Board of Visitors of Ralston College, a new liberal arts college in Savannah.〔(Ralston College )〕 In 2009, Koerner was one of three recipients of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Distinguished Achievement Award, which funds a current film project on Vienna.
