Gerhard grew up in the historic German city of Nuremberg and studied Art History and History at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität, Erlangen . After a first research period in Rome, he obtained an M.A. and went on to teach at Erlangen as a lecturer. For his Ph.D. research, he again moved to Rome as a Gerda-Henkel-Fellow based at and supported by the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History .
With his move to Britain began his decade long and ongoing work as a freelance editor and author for the academic encyclopaedia Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon (AKL - Artists of the World) to which he contributed some 2,900 biographical entries to date.
Parallel to this activity, Gerhard published independent research, was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Reading and involved with the National Recording Project of the Public Monuments and Sculpture Association .
