Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are looking to publish a special issue on the art market in from the early modern period to the present. The publication explores all aspects of the production, circulation distribution and consumption of works of art over the period. Submissions might explore but are not limited to the rise of capitalism in the early modern period and its impact on the arts, the role of museums in the valorization of works of art, the instrumentalism of galleries and museums, building on concepts of art’s loss of what Pierre Bourdieu termed ‘legitimacy’, the idea that in the past work of art fulfilled an identifiable function, and the formative role of art dealers on the market in the modern and early modern period. Art’s aestheticization and the role of the market is a key theme. Similarly, we are particularly interested in exploring colonialism and arts’ appropriation by the west, and ways in which non-occidental forms of culture were accommodated into colonial and post-colonial cultural networks. The special edition also aims to explore ways in which conflict in from the early modern period to the present has problematized our understanding of cultural value at once injecting stocks of cultural goods into an international market and while prompting a renewed interest in cultural heritage. Not least, the publication pays particular attention to artists’ networks and interventions that have offered resistance to the idea that art might have a commercial or political imperative, and not least to art’s role in addressing climate emergency and the politicization. Contributions should be between 5-6000 words and conform the stylesheet attached.
