This transatlantic study analyses a missing chapter in the history
of art collecting, the first art market bubble in the United
States. In the decades following the Civil War, French art
monopolized art collections across the United States. During this
"Gilded Age picture rush," the commercial art system-art dealers,
galleries, auction houses, exhibitions, museums, art journals,
press coverage, art histories, and collection
catalogues-established a strong foothold it has not relinquished to
this day. In addition, a pervasive concern for improving aesthetics
and providing the best contemporary art to educate the masses led
to the formation not only of private art collections, but also of
institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and to the
publication of art histories. Richly informed by collectors' and
art dealers' diaries, letters, stock books, journals, and hitherto
neglected art histories, The New York Market for French Art in the
Gilded Age, 1867-1893 offers a fresh perspective on this
trailblazing era.
