The Art Market and the Museum

"This book considers how art market stakeholders, including art dealers, collectors and agents, have shaped museum collections and affected exhibition practices since the mid-19th century. Based on new archival research and data analysis, it features contributions from a wide range of international specialists in the market for material culture as well as European modernism, and explores the origins and development of the modern Western art market and the global art networks that operated not only in Paris, London and New York, but in cities such as Glasgow, Vienna, Melbourne and Kansas City"--
