The latest number of the journal Visual Resources, published by Routledge/Taylor and Francis, presents a Special Issue Guest-Edited by MEAGHEN CLARKE and FRANCESCO VENTRELLA (University of Sussex), entitled ‘Women’s Expertise and the Culture of Connoisseurship’.
This issue has many articles that may interest the historian of the art market (especially appealing for those concerned with the linkages between the market and art historiography), such as ‘Mrs. Berenson, Mrs. Gardner and Miss Toplady: Connoisseurship, Collecting and Commerce in London (1898–1905)‘ by MACHTELT ISRAELS, and  ‘“This Feminine Scholar”: Belle da Costa Greene and the Shaping of J.P.

The development of sculpture in modern art is still a neglected area in art history. For a long time sculpture was mostly commissioned: monuments, ornamental decoration, or portrait sculpture as immortalization of eminent personalities. The emancipation from the wishes and specifications of clients was ambitious because the production costs for bronze or stone sculpture were significantly higher than for paintings or prints.

ALFRED FLECHTHEIM (1878-1937) was a pioneer of modern sculpture. Around 1910 he acquired Cubist sculptures by Picasso and belonged to the first patrons of Lehmbruck. After establishing his galleries in Düsseldorf (1913) and Berlin (1921), he became an important mediator for young sculptors such as Rudolf Belling, Renée Sintenis, Ernesto de Fiori, Moissey Kogan, Hermann Haller, Arno Breker and G. H. Wolff. Part of his agenda was to create spectacular exhibitions of Degas, Maillol, Laurens, Manolo, Minne, Barlach, Kolbe and others. Through Flechtheim’s activities, the history of sculpture into modernity can be demonstrated in a fascinating way.

This book is edited by Ottfried Dascher and includes contributions by Ursel Berger (Berlin), Yvette Deseyve (Bremen), Jan Giebel (Berlin), Arie Hartog (Bremen), Carolin Jahn (Berlin), Gottlieb Leinz (Essen), Volker Probst (Güstrow), Konrad Schlegel (Wien), Helen Shiner (Oxford), Katja Terlau (Köln), Esther Tisa Francini (Zürich), Beatrice Vierneisel (Berlin), Julia Wallner (Berlin) und Stephan von Wiese (Berlin).

Art History and the Global Challenge.
A Range of Critical Perspectives.
Artl@s Bulletin vol. 6,1

http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/artlas/

For this special issue of the Artl@s Bulletin, the editors asked a diverse group of scholars to share their perspectives on the “Global turn” and the ways the “Digital turn” is affecting it.
This survey must be regarded as a dialogue in progress: other conversations will follow and will contribute to widening the range of critical perspectives on art history and the Global challenge gathered in this issue.
