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.
