Making Pictures Marketable’: Expertise and the Georgian Art Market

Résumé

A cultural history of the first truly modern art market, Marketing Art in the British Isles, 1700 to the Present furthers the burgeoning exploration of Britain's struggle to carve a niche for itself on the international art scene. Bringing together scholars from the UK, US, Europe, and Asia, this collection sheds new light on such crucial notions as the internationalization of the art market; the emergence of an increasingly complex exhibition culture; issues of national rivalry and emulation; artists' individual and collective strategies for their own promotion and survival; the persistent anti-commercialism of an elite group of art lovers and critics and accusations of philistinism leveled at the middle classes; as well as an unquestionable native British genius at reconciling jarring discourses. This essay explores the dynamics that link the collectors, buyers and sellers, and the dealers and auctioneer - an investigation into the early dealer-critic system. The chapter pays specific attention to notions of information transparency, connoisseurship and the measure of preference versus the notion of taste.
