She was born in Caracas 1946, studied art history and archaeology at the Universities of Bern and Vienna and wrote her doctoral thesis on Hieronymus Bosch under Otto Pcht. She has taught at the Universities of Vienna, Salzburg, Basel, Oldenburg and Frankfurt and is one of the pioneers in establishing gender studies in German-speaking academia. Hammer-Tugendhat is on the supervisory board of the International Research Center for Cultural Studies in Vienna (IFK) and on the editorial board of the Zeitschrift fr Kulturwissenschaften. She was elected as a reviewer for the European Research Council Advanced grant; in 2010 she received the Gabriele Possanner State Prize. Her research on the methodology of art history as Kulturwissenschaft is focused on Early Modern painting, specifically from the Netherlands, ranging from the representational politics of text and image to gender studies and the representation of emotions in the arts.
