Showcasing diverse methodologies, this volume illuminates London's central role in the development of a European art market at the turn of the nineteenth century. In the late 1700s, as the events of the French Revolution roiled France, London displaced Paris as the primary hub of international art sales. Within a few decades, a robust and sophisticated art market flourished in London. London and the Emergence of a European Art Market, 1780–1820 explores the commercial milieu of art sales and collecting at this turning point. In this collection of essays, twenty-two scholars employ methods ranging from traditional art historical and provenance studies to statistical and economic analysis; t...
The study of provenance—the history of the creation and ownership of an artefact, work of art, or specimen—provides insights into the history of taste and collecting, illuminating the social, economic, and historic trends in which an object was created and collected. It is as much a history of people as it is of objects, and its study often reveals intricate networks of relationships, patterns of activity and motivations. This book promotes the study of the history of collecting and collections in all their variety through the lens of provenance, and explores the subject as a cross-disciplinary activity. Perhaps for the first time in a publication, it draws on expertise ranging from art ...

As a result of the Napoleonic wars, vast numbers of Old Master paintings were released on to the market from public and private collections across continental Europe. The knock-on effect was the growth of the market for Old Masters from the 1790s up to the early 1930s, when the Great Depression put an end to its expansion. This book explores the global movement of Old Master paintings and investigates some of the changes in the art market that took place as a result of this new interest. Arguably, the most important phenomenon was the diminishing of the traditional figure of the art agent and the rise of more visible, increasingly professional, dealerships; firms such as Colnaghi and Agnew's in Britain, Goupil in France and Knoedler in the USA, came into existence. Old Masters Worldwide explores the ways in which the pioneering practices of such businesses contributed to shape a changing market.
Publicación de las ponencias de las Jornadas de Investigación "Colecciones, expolio, museos y mercado artístico en España en los siglos XVIII Y XIX". Las jornadas sirvieron para sacar a la luz la investigación que en paralelo llevan a cabo especialistas universitarios y profesionales de los museos que ofrecieron en sus exposiciones nuevos puntos de vista sobre las colecciones de arte, las instituciones culturales, así como la trayectoria y gestión de unas y otras.
En el siglo XX ningún arte del pasado ha permanecido como modelo inalterable. Incluso las vanguardias se han sucedido como una negación del pasado. Ningún movimiento de vanguardia ha ejercido una hegemonía perdurable. El arte del siglo XX está formado por una suma de opciones dispares, y en muchos casos, contradictorias. Se ha producido una ruptura con la jerarquía de las artes y el sistema tradicional de los géneros y se ha incrementado de forma sensible el ámbito artístico.

This is effectively a historical journey through the works of the great 19th century Spanish masters from Goya through to Sorolla.
From the late fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries, the Hispanic Monarchy was one of the largest and most diverse political communities known in history. At its apogee, it stretched from the Castilian plateau to the high peaks of the Andes; from the cosmopolitan cities of Seville, Naples, or Mexico City to Santa Fe and San Francisco; from Brussels to Buenos Aires and from Milan to Manila. During those centuries, Spain left its imprint across vast continents and distant oceans contributing in no minor way to the emergence of our globalised era. This was true not only in an economic sense-the Hispano-American silver peso transported across the Atlantic and the Pacific by the Spanish fleets wa...
