Editors: Dr Sam Bowker, Charles Sturt University & Professor Craig Bremner, Charles Sturt University

Ever since Vasari published the ‘Vite’ in 1550, art history has been skewed in favour of named individuals whose biographies can be unveiled or re-evaluated. However, the majority of contributions to visual culture do not fit this criterion. If it is impossible to determine an artists’ name, some of the most significant cultural and commercial imperatives for new scholarship are lost. Due to related methodological prejudices, analyses primarily drawn from material culture have been reserved for ‘inferior’ contributions to visual culture. The presentation of . . . → En lire plus

Deadline: Jun 21, 2015

The Venice Biennale and the Art Market, the Venice Biennale as an Art Market: Anatomy of a Complex Relationship Over its history, the strategic positioning of the Venice Biennale has seemingly oscillated between a pure exhibition platform and a hybrid exhibition/exchange platform. At its inception in 1895, the venture strongly pushed forward an aim of aesthetic experimentation (laboratorio della modernità) whilst emphasising its scorn of mercantile concerns (prosaicità mercantile). However the 1899 Catalogue of the Biennale blatantly belied such initial aim when it signalled the presence of a sales bureau at the heart of the exhibition palace. From then . . . → En lire plus

Friend or foe: Art and the Market in the Nineteenth Century

The attitude towards art dealers in the nineteenth century are rather diverse. Vincent van Gogh loathed the ‘art buyer’ while other artists built enduring relationships with them. However different these positions, most artists seem to have agreed that the impact of dealers on the art world was undeniable and had to be negotiated in one way or another. Most narratives of the history of the nineteenth-century art market have assigned dealers the role of stage-managers and even puppet masters, controlling the entire artistic life-cycle of . . . → En lire plus
