Opis

On the basis of extensive archival research, the essays in this volume examine the minutiae of object transaction in the late nineteenth-century art market within its social network and broader historical context.

Recenzje

"The book's fourteen essays provide an overview of the role that Florence played in the international art market during the late nineteenth century. The authors are a distinguished group of international scholars who specialize in the history of Italian painting and sculpture, collecting, and the art market. ... This volume, like the others in the series, should play a role in the classroom, adding layers to the meaning of art works and opening up potential discussion on issues of ownership, cultural heritage, and the origins of public collections. Its beautiful color illustrations also make it attractive."
Véronique Chagnon-Burke, in Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide

"Catterson is to be congratulated on her dual achievement in delivering this admirable resource for those studying the intersections between art market studies, and in creating a social network of scholars whose research yields increasing revelations through collaboration. This beautifully illustrated, substantial volume is evidence that collegiality leads to new knowledge and avenues of inquiry"
Imogen Tedbury, Journal of the History of Collections

"This generously illustrated and well-presented set of essays significantly enriches our picture of the sale and interpretation of Italian Renaissance pictures and decorative art in the years around 1900."
Tom Summers, The Society for the History of Collecting

"Covering both well- and less-known collectors, items, and collections, the volume comprises 14 well-researched and richly illustrated essays, each of which delves deeply into its topic."
