Once again, at the annual College Art Association Conference in New York last February,
TIAMSA supported two excellent sessions.
Dr Caterina Toschi chaired a fascinating session titled: Women Art Dealers and Collectors
Promoting Non-Western Arts: The Case of Pre-Columbian Art and the Indigenous Arts of North
America. Four case studies highlighted the career of four women, Inès Amor and the galeria de
Arte Mexicano, Mrs. Freyer who bought Colonial Peruvian Art to the United State, Elizabeth
Easby, a scholar collector of pre-Columbian Jade and Fiamma Vigo who through her gallery
supported Peruvian Contemporary art in the 1950s and 1960s. For more information see:

Later on in the day, Diana Kral and Anne-Kathrine Gerlieb co-chaired another very engaging
panel called, Methodological Approaches in Art Market Studies. Amy Whitaker discussed the
primacy of market data for understanding artists as producers and Guy Schegler presented the
multitude of consequences linked to adopting a performativity approach in art market studies.

The success of these two sessions highlights the cross-disciplinary nature of our field of Art
Market Studies. TIAMSA looks forward to the contribution of our members to the 2026 College
Art Association.
