Description

This is the first sourcebook to track the emergence and evolution of art markets within the Western economy, framing them inside the larger narrative of the ascendancy of capitalist markets. Selected writings from across academic disciplines present compelling evidence of art’s inherent commercial dimension and show how artists, dealers, and collectors have interacted through the years, from the city-states of Quattrocento Italy to the high-stakes markets of postmillennial New York and Beijing. This approach casts a startling new light at the traditional concerns of art history and aesthetics, revealing much that may be provocative, profound, and on occasion even comic. This volume’s unique historical point of view makes it appropriate to be used in college courses and postgraduate and professional programs, in addition to for professionals working in art-related environments such as museums, galleries, and auction houses.
