The Arts Business provides a comprehensive overview of the professional activities of the art business. Addressing this fast-moving industry, the book analyses its market institutions and structures, including galleries, auction houses and art fairs.
M.A. programs in 'Business of Art' are coming to seem increasingly important. Yet there is hardly a suitable textbook to hand out to students. Dr Taylor's volume brilliantly fills the gap by introducing a broad range of relevant topics from a practical, theoretical, and historical perspective.
