Helen Shiner has been added to your list of hired vendors.
I have over thirty years' experience of translating for clients in the arts world, including exhibition catalogues for major museums and galleries, prestigious auction catalogues, websites, exhibition reviews and other material.
ACADEMIC TRANSLATION
I provide specialist translations for fellow academics in the arts and humanities; I have translated many articles for publication, lectures and research material, both from German and French into English.
Texts translated have included material from many periods of art history, architectural history, art criticism, art theory, literature, journalism, psychology, philosophy and history. Many of the academic articles I have translated have been published (for instance, by Ashgate, Peeters, Rodopi, Routledge, on the internet and in various peer-reviewed journals). For a sample list of my published translations, please contact me.
TESTIMONIALS
Client confidentiality is very important to me, and I do not normally expect, or ask for, testimonials. Nonetheless, please see below for a range of comments about my work, as quoted from communications from some of my clients:
"Die Übersetzung ist gut angekommen. Inzwischen konnten wir uns damit auch schon intensiv auseinandersetzen d.h. wir haben Satz für Satz genau Korrektur gelesen. Deshalb kann ich Ihnen auch schon mitteilen, dass wir mit der Arbeit der Übersetzerin in höchstem Maß zufrieden sind. Zuweilen waren wir gar verblüfft... Ich kann Ihnen also - mit einem ausdrücklichen Lob für die aussergewöhnliche Arbeit der Übersetzerin - den Eingang bestätigen."
"Je tiens à vous dire que j'ai été très satisfait du travail que vous avez accompli sur le texte que je vous avais soumis. Grâce à votre traduction, il a pris l'allure d'une véritable communication de rang international. Si vous acceptez de travailler sur ces autres textes, comme je le souhaite vivement, je suis sûr que vous saurez leur imprimer cette tenue de langue parfaite que j'ai déjà eu l'occasion d'apprécier dans votre travail."
As an art historian, I specialise in the history of sculpture, architecture and dance of the early 20th century in Germany, France and England. A further focus of my research concerns the esoteric/spiritual/religious iconography and practices of artists. I am the author of a book (for Kunsthal Rotterdam) and catalogue entries (for the Centre Pompidou, Musée d'art Moderne de Paris) on André Derain's sculpture. I have also written a number of articles on the subject of architectural sculpture, sculptural patronage and artistic identity. My doctoral work at the Courtauld Institute of Art concerns the patronage of architectural sculpture in Germany, 1895-1933, my MA (Birmingham Institute of Art and Design) having focused on the radical conservatism of certain early 20th-century German patrons of avant-garde art. I am a member of the Association of Art Historians, the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association, and the Society of Authors.
I am very used to working to tight deadlines, with accuracy and courtesy, and, above all, in a fluent and polished writing style.
Rates negotiable depending on complexity of source text, urgency and length of text/repeat work.
