In the late 1700s, as the events of the French Revolution roiled
France, London displaced Paris as the primary hub of international
art sales. Within a few decades, a robust and sophisticated art
market flourished in London. 'London and the Emergence of a
European Art Market, 1780-1820' explores the commercial milieu of
art sales and collecting at this turning point. In this collection
of essays, twenty-one scholars employ methods ranging from
traditional art historical and provenance studies to statistical
and economic analysis; they provide overviews, case studies and
empirical reevaluations of artists, collectors, patrons, agents and
dealers, institutions, sales and practices. Drawing from pioneering
digital resources-notably the Getty Provenance Index-as well as
archival materials, such as trade directories, correspondence,
stock books and inventories, auction catalogs and exhibition
reviews, these scholars identify broad trends, reevaluate previous
misunderstandings and consider overlooked commercial contexts to
illuminate artistic taste. From individual case studies to
econometric overviews, this volume is groundbreaking for its
diverse methodological range that illuminates artistic taste and
flourishing art commerce at the turn of the nineteenth century.
