IL MERCATO DELL’ARTE IN ITALIA INTORNO AL 1900.
PROTAGONISTI, ARCHIVI, FOTOGRAFIE
Florence, Bologna, November 14 – 15, 2017
Study days promoted by Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut and Federico Zeri Foundation.
The two study days, which will take place in Florence and Bologna respectively, aim to analyze the dynamics of the art market in Italy at the beginning of the twentieth century, intersecting the methods of the history of art, economic history and sociology.
In this fruitful research context, two particular aspects will be studied: the relationship between photographic practices and antique practices, the subject of the first day hosted by the Fototeca del Kunsthistorisches Institut, and the antiquarian world in the Savoy Rome, which will be studied on the second day at the Federico Zeri Foundation.
(days held in Italian)
PRATICHE FOTOGRAFICHE E PRATICHE ANTIQUARIE
a cura di Julia Bärnighausen e Costanza Caraffa
14 November
Florence, Fototeca del Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut
The international art market research is undergoing a phase of particular intensity in recent years, sees the flourishing of interdisciplinary studies and conferences and is becoming a subject of university education. At the center of the latest studies are the networks of relations between antiques, collectors and other figures related to the sale of works of art. Among these, photographers played a key role in the evolution of artistic commerce since the second half of the 19th century. The art market is also linked to the formation of the historical-artistic canon, and from this point of view the photographs play a fundamental role.

a cura di Andrea Bacchi e Giovanna Capitelli
15 November
Bologna, Fondazione Federico Zeri
The day of studies welcomes interventions aimed at investigating figures, stories and aspects of art trade in the city which has just become the capital of the Kingdom of Italy before and after the entry into force of Law no. 324 of June 20, 1909. Particular attention will be given to the analysis of survey tools (photographs, archival documentation, sales catalogs, memoirs) that can focus, in a context of many opacity, antique dealers, the international networks of their trade, the dispersion of important Roman historical collections, and the repercussions that such movement of works determines on the development of the history of European and American art.
