CFP: The Formation and Development of New Markets (Workshop 3), London.

Published on by Art Market Studies

International Workshop Series

Tools for the Future: Researching Art Market Practices from Past to Present

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the third of our International Workshop son the formation and development of new and emerging markets organised in London. This workshop is part of the International Workshops Series “Tools for the Future: Researching Art Market Practices from Past to Present”, jointly organised by ART-Dev University Paul Valéry Montpellier 3, Creative Economy-HKU University of the Arts Utrecht and IESA & Institute of Historical Research, London. Through individual presentations followed by group discussions, the series aims at bringing together scholars from different disciplines and areas of study of the art market to confront key issues and related methodologies that can be used to analyse the structures and principals of the art market. Previous workshops were, respectively, on art collectors and the artist as an entrepreneur.

As the art market has developed worldwide, there have been many instances where new areas of producing, trading, collecting and valuating art have emerged onto the market, very often reaching record-breaking prices. This workshop focuses on examples of new paradigms and new ways that art markets function, whether in the primary or secondary sector, the aim being to analyse and understand the mechanisms by which a particular ‘product’ enters the art market, considering who are the main players of such changes, collectors, institutions, dealers or other agents. Equally, it would be interesting to explore market types that have not succeeded or gained a foothold. There are many well-known and well studied areas of innovation in the market, among which can be cited the 17th century imports of Chinese and Japanese ceramics, lacquers and textiles, the development of a market for 17th century Dutch and Flemish paintings in Paris and London during the 18th century, or the rise of the Barbizon school in 19th-century Paris, while we have seen the emergence of photography and street art as important areas of contemporary collecting, or even African art. New art forms such as digital and video art raise questions as to whether existing models of agency are still appropriate and thus, whether new technology is fundamentally changing the creation, trade, consumption and validation of art.

CONF: Sammeln und Ausstellen global? (Duesseldorf, 1 Feb 19)

Published on by Art Market Studies

Ein Studientag anlässlich der Ausstellung Museum global. Mikrogeschichten einer ex-zentrischen Moderne

Seit seiner Entstehung im 18. Jahrhundert ist das Museum ein Ort permanenter Neu- und Umordnungen. Sammlungen haben den Anspruch von Dauer. Gleichwohl ist der Umgang mit ihnen – ihre Präsentation, Erforschung und Vermittlung – immer wieder durch Perspektivwechsel bestimmt. Unter den Vorzeichen postkolonialer Theoriebildung und den geopolitischen Veränderungen seit Ende des Kalten Krieges setzte in den letzten Jahrzehnten ein grundlegendes Umdenken ein. Was bedeutet Sammeln und Ausstellen in einem globalen Rahmen, insbesondere für ein Museum wie die Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, deren Sammlung maßgeblich durch das europäisch-nordamerikanische Narrativ der Moderne geprägt ist?

ANN: Gulbenkian Symposium – Collecting: modus operandi, 1900-1950, 15-16 February 2019, Lisbon

In 2019 the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and the Art Library will have been open for 50 years. Gulbenkian was known as ‘Mr. 5%’, who wanted ‘only the best’, but this conference seeks to go beyond the biographical, or the anecdotic, and to consider Gulbenkian in the light of a wider context, with papers that reflect new research into the ways in which collectors worked, their networks, and their relationship with their collection, its accessibility and its future, and that go beyond single-case studies of individual owners, seeking instead more transversal studies into how collectors worked and how they mirrored the period in which they lived. The questions of the role played by museums, by art agents and intermediaries, as well as by the markets, will also be addressed.

Free admission subject to previous registration: collecting@gulbenkian.pt
Places: 134
