This book is for art market researchers at all levels. A brief overview of the global art market and its major stakeholders precedes an analysis of the various sales venues (auction, commercial gallery, etc.). Library research skills are reviewed, and advanced methods are explored in a chapter devoted to basic market research. Because the monetary value of artwork cannot be established without reference to the aesthetic qualities and art historical significance of our subject works, two substantial chapters detail the processes involved in researching and documenting the fine and decorative arts, respectively, and provide annotated bibliographies. Methods for assigning values for art objects are explored, and sources of price data, both in print and online, are identified and described in detail. In recent years, art historical scholarship increasingly has addressed issues related to the history of art and its markets: a chapter on resources for the historian of the art market offers a wide range of sources. Finally, provenance and art law are discussed, with particular reference to their relevance to dealers, collectors, artists and other art market stakeholders.
National architectural magazine now in its fifteenth year, covering period-inspired design 1700–1950. Commissioned photographs show real homes, inspired by the past but livable. Historical and interpretive rooms are included; new construction, additions, and new kitchens and baths take their place along with restoration work. A feature on furniture appears in every issue. Product coverage is extensive. Experts offer advice for homeowners and designers on finishing, decorating, and furnishing period homes of every era. A garden feature, essays, archival material, events and exhibitions, and book reviews round out the editorial. Many readers claim the beautiful advertising—all of it design-related, no “lifestyle” ads—is as important to them as the articles.
An annual publication forging a link between social history, American studies, and the decorative arts.
"Celebrating the American spirit and its rich legacy, The Book of American Traditions is a treasury of lore, stories, customs, and activities passed down from generation to generation. Until now, many of these traditions have been lost or forgotten. In these pages are hundreds of ideas for keeping cherished traditions alive and starting new ones to share with your family and friends." "The Book of American Traditions features read-aloud stories, nostalgic tales, fascinating facts, quotable lines, poems and vignettes, and personal recollections from famous and ordinary folk alike that every family member will enjoy. To gather the material for this book, Emyl Jenkins interviewed hundreds of men, women, and children across the country who have contributed their favorite traditions. These original stories appear alongside excerpts from the works of well-known authors of yesterday and today - from Louisa May Alcott, Thomas Wolfe, and John Steinbeck to M. F. K. Fisher and Margaret Maron."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
