Brill Connecting Art Markets: Guilliam Forchondt’s Dealership in Antwerp (c.1632–78) and the Overseas Paintings Trade: 1 (Studies in the History of Collecting & Art Markets, 1)

Connecting Art Markets proposes that vertically-integrated art dealers operating on a large scale acted as cultural mediators, and offers an aggregate view that connects artistic and market developments at both sides of the Atlantic. Review "This study, the first publication in Brill's new series Studies in the History of Collecting and Art Markets, is an excellent example of economic and digital art historical research in which statistics and visualizations are used very effectively to contribute novel insights to historical debates." Claartje Rasterhoff, Amsterdam University "... Sandra van Ginhoven's Connecting Art Markets. Guilliam Forchondt's Dealership in Antwerp (c.1632-78) and the Overseas Paintings Trade, carried out with the utmost scholarly care and creativity and vividly written, is a resounding accomplishment. It is, basically, art market studies at its best, and thus an excellent and inspiring kickoff of the new Studies in the History of Collecting & Art Markets series edited by Getty's Christian Huemer."
