Binding: Paperback
Description: This is the first sourcebook to trace the emergence and evolution of art markets in the Western European economy framing them within 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 over time 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 on the traditional concerns of art history and aesthetics revealing much that is provocative profound and occasionally even comic. This volume's unique historical perspective makes it appropriate for use in college courses and postgraduate and professional programs as well as for professionals working in art - related environments such as museums galleries and auction houses.
