CONF: Objects of Exchange: Art and Economic Encounters (Paris, 7-8 Sep 17)

Published on by Art Market Studies

International Symposium
Institut National d’Histoire de l’art (INHA)
Paris, 07. – 08.09.2017

Org. Alexander Alberro (Columbia University), Sophie Cras (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)
