Description



Book Synopsis



The mechanisms and phenomena of the modern and contemporary art market have existed for centuries. The production of copies and series was already a proven strategy for increasing efficiency in ancient Rome, a strategy that reached its peak in the 19th century. Mass-produced goods were exported on a large scale as early as 17th-century Antwerp, with dealers profiting from international networks and shipping their wares worldwide. Focusing on centers of innovation, influential figures, and important trade and art centers, this standard work traces the key developments that shaped the art market. For the first time, this volume tells the history of the art market from antiquity to the 19th century through essays by leading experts in the field.

  • Exhibition Gartenpalais Liechtenstein, Vienna, January 30, to April 6, 2026
  • A richly illustrated overview
  • An introduction to the history of the art market for a broad audience
  • With contributions from international experts

Mechanismen und Phänomene des modernen und zeitgenössischen Kunstmarkts exisitieren seit Jahrhunderten. Das Anfertigen von Kopien und Serien war schon im antiken Rom eine bewährte Strategie zur Effizienzsteigerung, die im 19. Jahrhundert auf die Spitze getrieben wurde. Massenware wurde bereits im Antwerpen des 17. Jahrhunderts im großen Stil exportiert, Händler profitierten von internationalen Netzwerken und verschifften ihre Waren weltweit. Fokussierend auf Innovationszentren, prägende Persönlichkeiten und bedeutende Handels- und Kunstzentren zeigt dieses Standardwerk die wichtigsten Entwicklungsschritte auf, die den Kunstmarkt prägten. Erstmals erzählt dieser Band anhand von Essays führender Expertinnen und Experten eine Geschichte des Kunstmarkts von der Antike bis ins 19. Jahrhundert
