Studies in the History of Collections

Edited by John Boardman, Christopher Brown, Arthur MacGregor and Peter Stewart, Studies in the History of Collections is a new and innovative series embracing art and science, the antique and post-antique, east and west, old world and new. It is being published in two forms. The first, under the imprint of British Archaeological Reports (published by Archaeopress) is in their standard format; the second, under the joint imprint of Archaeopress and the Beazley Archive, is hard-bound. The large (A4) format, rich in images, aims to make subjects accessible to a broad spectrum of readers.

Authors who would like their work to be considered for the series are invited to contact SHC@maillist.ox.ac.uk. The Editors will wish to see a hard copy of the text and images. They will consult an International Refereeing Committee. Authors whose work has been accepted will be given an electronic format by email. They will be responsible for the preparation of their text and images according to this format.

Volume III
Auctions, Agents and Dealers
The mechanisms of the Art Market 1660-1830

edited by Jeremy Warren and Adriana Turpin

In recent years the Wallace Collection has begun to develop more actively its profile as a leading centre for the study of this history of collecting, especially, but not exclusively, in Britain and France during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This conference, which took place at the Wallace Collection on 12-13 December 2003, set out to examine aspects of seventeenth to early nineteenth-century collecting from the perspective of the art market, including the mechamisms devised to create clients and markets, the networks set up by agents and dealers, and collectors' relationships with dealers and the market.
