Digital mapping, present in everyday life in the form of navigation devices, is increasingly finding its way into art history research. As part of the symposium Mapping the Art Market, organized by the department for Art Market Studies at the University of Cologne’s Institute of Art History, international researchers will be presenting their projects that pursue art historical issues with the assistance of location analysis.
A subsequent round table discussion will attempt to address fundamental questions. What contribution, for example, are digital recording and the visualization of the locations of artists, exhibitions, galleries, as well as other protagonists in the art system currently making to art history? What opportunities, challenges, and future developments do such mapping projects yield? What scope is there for further collaborations (including interdisciplinary ones)?
The occasion for the symposium is the launch of the digital mapping project Art | GALLERY GIS | Cologne, headed by Jun.-Prof. Dr. Nadine Oberste-Hetbleck, which has been under development in Cologne since March 2017. The geographically referenced visualization of galleries participating in ART COLOGNE during the first 30 years of its existence has permitted a highly sophisticated overview of this, the very first, fair for modern and contemporary art.
