Summary/Abstract: The text aims to point to major methodological problems faced by modern history of art. They are caused and at the same time challenged by the processes taking place in modern art, such as ecological activism and various actions undertaken in response to climate change, threats to the natural environment, littering of the earth, etc. Faced with these activities and artistic processes, dominant in modern art, traditional research instruments appear to be inadequate and useless. Art science has to develop adequate theoretical concepts and establish appropriate criteria, notions and terms.
