''[[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), focussed on works by [[Lucas Cranach]], and treated Protestant [[iconoclasm]] and its aftermath in painting and architecture. Among its claims was that, prior to Protestantism, Christian art had iconoclasm built into it, most centrally in the image of the ruined Christ as crossed-out God. While writing the latter book, Koerner collaborated with [[Bruno Latour]] and [[Peter Weibel]] on the 2002 exhibition "Iconoclash" at the ZKM in [[Karlsruhe]]. Subsequently, he curated "Earth Tidings," a collaboration between the ZKM and the [[Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe]], in conjunction with Latour and Weibel's 2020-21 exhibition "Critical Zones." He also was a contributing curator to ZKM's exhibitions "Making Things Public" (2005) and "Reset Modernity" (2016).<ref>[https://zkm.de/en/person/joseph-leo-koerner ZKM]</ref> Koerner has also curated exhibitions of his father's work, including a 1997 retrospective at the Austrian National Gallery. In the 1990s, he was a frequent contributor to the ''[[Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung]]'' and ''[[The New Republic]]''. He has published book and exhibition reviews in [[The New York Review of Books]] and creative non-fiction in [[Granta]] Magazine, anthologized (2020) in [[The Best American Essays]]. He has also written and taught on modern and contemporary artists, including [[Lucian Freud]], [[Francesco Clemente]], Vivienne Koorland, [[Luc Tuymans]], and, most extensively, [[William Kentridge]].
In Great Britain, Koerner is known for his work as writer and presenter of the three-part ''Northern Renaissance'' (2006) and the feature-length ''Vienna: City of Dreams'' (2007), both produced in Scotland by the BBC and first broadcast on [[BBC Four]]. A popular speaker, Koerner has delivered the Slade Lectures at Cambridge (2003) and Oxford (2013), the Getty Lectures at USC (2005), the Bross Lectures at University of Chicago (2007), the [[A. W.
