This is the first sourcebook to trace the emergence and evolution of art markets in the Western economy, framing them within the larger narrative of the ascendancy of capitalist markets. Selected writings from across academic disciplines present compelling evidence of arts inherent commercial dimension and show how artists, dealers, and collectors have interacted over time, from the citystates of Quattrocento Italy to the highstakes 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 volumes unique historical perspective makes it appropriate for use in college courses and postgraduate and professional programs, as well as for professionals working in artrelated environments such as museums, galleries, and auction houses.
