A Janela Aberta, 1998, by Pedro Calapez, at Veritas Art Auctioneers

Our 2019 conference was hosted by the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga (Lisbon) and co-organized by the Institute of Art History, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa, in collaboration with Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (Porto Alegre, Brazil).

The conference was a very exciting gathering with nearly fifty speakers and session chairs from sixteen countries worldwide, two keynote addresses, three special events, our traditional conference dinner (open to all), and TIAMSA’s Annual General Meeting. With its extraordinary collections and wonderful location, the Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga provided a most suitable frame within the beautiful city of Lisbon, a particularly fitting venue for the conference theme.

At this gathering we discussed the developments, the disruptions and new perspectives that can be observed in the current art market as seen from the Global South, a term here used to refer to emerging economies of the southern hemisphere (South America, Africa, India, South-Eastern Asia, Southern Europe, but not limited to these geographical areas) and their contribution to the development of art markets worldwide. We explored the Global South as a thematic frame and through different disciplinary viewpoints in order to re-think the cross-cultural and economic flows and to investigate the various local practices of the art market. Furthermore, we looked at the Global South as a set of spaces and players affected by the contemporary art trade. In doing so we particularly focused on the rise of new art markets in these regions and their impact on the global art system – its history, its changing processes and its networks – but also on the circulation of art.
