This book explores the attribution and local negotiation of
cultural valuations of artistic and art-institutional practices
around the world, and considers the diverse ways in which these
value attributions intersect with claims of universality and
cosmopolitanism. Taking Michael Herzfeld's notion of the "global
hierarchy of value" as point of departure, the volume brings
together six empirical studies of the collection, circulation,
classification and exhibition of objects in present-day Brazil,
China, India, Japan, South Africa and Indigenous Australia in light
of Europe's loss of global hegemony. Including reflections by a
number of senior scholars, the chapters demonstrate that the
question of valuation lies at the heart of artistic and
art-institutional practices writ large - including museum
practices, museum architecture, galleries, auction houses, art
fairs and biennales.
