A wide-ranging and thought-provoking study of the complex intersections between the art market and the museum, this volume highlights the significant role that the art market has played, and continues to play, in the development of the public art museum. * Mark Westgarth, Professor of the History of the Art Market, University of Leeds, UK * A supreme example of international, historical scholarship in art market studies at its best. An essential and fascinating read for anyone interested in the intricate and complex set of relationships between the commercial world of art, museums’ collecting practices, philanthropy and gender. * Marta Herrero, Head of Creative Industries Management and Reader in Creative Industries, University of York, UK * This important volume demonstrates the many roles of dealers in the life of public institutions. With an impressive mix of global and chronological perspectives, it uncovers a realm of collaborations and transactions in which the boundaries of museum and market appear as strikingly porous. * Tom Stammers, Reader in Cultural and Art History, the Courtauld Institute of Art, UK * An accomplished and scholarly volume, noted for its geographical range and focus on the role of women in building museum collections. It will be a valuable resource, particularly for art market and museum studies. * Simon Kelly, Curator and Head of Department of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Saint Louis Art Museum, USA *
