Katarína Mašterová is a co-investigator for the five-year NAKI II project entitled Josef Sudek and the Photographic Reproduction of Artworks: From Private Art Archive to Representation of Cultural Heritage (Sudek Project; 2016–2020). She is one of the founding members of IAH's Photography Research Centre. Along with Vojtěch Lahoda and Hana Buddeus, she prepared the symposium and corresponding book Instant Presence: Representing Art in Photography (2017).

In her research, she addresses the history and theory of twentieth-century photography with a special focus on reproductions of artworks (primarily sculptures and heritage monuments), the phenomenon of the photo archive, and the photographers Josef Sudek and Jan Svoboda.
