THE WALLACE COLLECTION
AUCTIONS, AGENTS AND DEALERS: THE MECHANISMS OF THE ART MARKET, 1660-1830
12-13 DECEMBER 2003
This two-day conference brings together fifteen scholars from different
countries working on various aspects of the art market from 1660 to 1830.
The papers consider the economic background to these developments, the
networks set up by agents and dealers and the mechanisms devised to create
clients and markets. The conference will be held at The Wallace Collection,
as part of its continuing promotion of the study of all aspects of the
history of collecting and of French art in the early Modern period.
Speakers include Patrick Michel, Hans van Miegroet on the Parisian market,
Guillaume Glorieux on the dealer Gersaint, Pascal Bertrand on the
marchands-tapissiers and Alden Gordon on pricing works of art in the
collections of the Marquis de Marigny. David Mitchell, Julia
Armstrong-Totten, John Cherry and David Connell will discuss individual
British dealers and their networks; David Ormrod aspects of the London
trade in paintings and Satomi Ohashi the influence of British auction
legislation on the market. Other speakers, Maria-Tere Alvarez, Malcolm
Baker, Thomas Ketelsen, and Linda Borean extend the boundaries to consider
markets in Amsterdam, Spain, Italy and Germany at the time.
