'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object. -

Histoire Des Collections Numismatiques Et Des Institutions Vouées À La Numismatique
HISTOIRE DES COLLECTIONS NUMISMATIQUES ET DES INSTITUTIONS VOUÉES À LA NUMISMATIQUE Numismatic Collections in Scotland Scotland is fortunate in possessing two major cabinets of international signifi- cance. In addition over 120 other institutions, from large civic museums to smaller provincial ones, hold collections of coins and medals of varying size and impor- tance. 1 The two main collections, the Hunterian held at the University of Glasgow, and the national collection, housed at the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh, nicely complement each other. The former, based on the renowned late 18th centu- ry cabinet of Dr. William Hunter, contains an outstanding collection of Greek and Roman coins as well as important groups of Anglo-Saxon, medieval and later English, and Scottish issues along with a superb holding of medals. The National Museums of Scotland house the largest and most comprehensive group of Scottish coins and medals extant. Each collection now numbers approximately 70,000 speci- mens. The public numismatic collections from the rest of Scotland, though perhaps not so well known, are now recorded to some extent due to a National Audit of the coun- try’s cultural heritage held by museums and galleries carried out by the Scottish Museums Council in 2001 on behalf of the Scottish Government. 2 Coins and Medals was one of 20 collections types included in the questionnaire, asking for location, size and breakdown into badges, banknotes, coins, medals, tokens, and other. Over 12 million objects made up what was termed the Distributed National Collection, of which 3.3% consisted of approximately 68,000 coins and medals in the National Museums concentrated in Edinburgh and 345,000 in the non-nationals throughout the rest of the country. -

Retour ISSUE No. 31 The Newsletter of ISSN 1479-9634 SPRING 2019 The Scottish Records Association Katrine Aqueduct Photographs Discovered A forgotten treasure trove of Victorian photographs showing the construction of parts of one of Scotland’s most important pieces of infrastructure has been unearthed. Katrine tunnelling 1892, courtesy of Scottish Water. The Katrine Aqueduct, which takes water to treatment works that supply 1.3 million people in Glasgow and west central Scotland, was built in the Victorian era to help transform the health of citizens, and continues in full use to this day. The recently-discovered photographs provide a fascinating insight into the mega-structure which was officially opened by Queen Victoria almost 160 years ago in October 1859. They include remarkable images of pioneers boring through rocky mountainsides with drills during the construction of the 23.5 mile-long second aqueduct. Work began on this in 1885 and it was completed in 1901 to increase capacity and meet demand as the population of Glasgow burgeoned to more than one million.

The first aqueduct includes tunnels through mountainous terrain in the shadow of Ben Lomond and bridges over the valleys. -
Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes – Links to Curriculum for Excellence
Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes – Links to Curriculum for Excellence From the outset, the principles of Curriculum for Excellence were considered while developing the resource. More flexibility, more choice... We hope that the flexible structure of Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes will allow teachers and pupils to adapt the content to meet their needs and interests. The four capacities The varied content offers scope to develop many of the attributes and capabilities of the four capacities. The resource is designed to: encourage enquiry; provoke thought; stimulate discussion; make connections; develop knowledge and understanding of the world; inspire creativity; and promote problem solving… An interdisciplinary approach CfE aims to create better links between subjects so that pupils find learning more useful, relevant and motivating – both at school and for their future lives. Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes approaches the topic of money from various angles, and can support study in many curriculum areas. A few suggestions are provided below. Many of these are illustrated in slide-show format under Social Studies Beads, Bawbees and Banknotes offers pupils the chance to develop their understanding of the history, heritage and culture of Scotland, as well as to broaden their geographical and economic knowledge of the world. The resource has a distinctly Scottish slant. Heads and Tails, Making Notes and Kists and Keys all explore aspects of Scotland's financial heritage. Setting the Scene introduces the history of Scottish banking and reveals the story behind one of Edinburgh's most prominent landmarks – the Bank of Scotland Head Office. Insights gained into the role of money in society can help to develop an understanding of economy and business. -

Pricing and Fees in Auction Platforms with Two-Sided Entry
Discussion Paper PRICING AND FEES IN AUCTION PLATFORMS WITH TWO-SIDED ENTRY Marleen Marra SCIENCES PO ECONOMICS DISCUSSION PAPER No. 2020-02 Pricing and fees in auction platforms with two-sided entry Marleen Marra∗ December 2019 Abstract This paper presents, solves, and estimates the first structural auction model with seller selection. This allows me to quantify network effects arising from endogenous bidder and seller entry into auction platforms, facilitating the es- timation of theoretically ambiguous fee impacts by tracing them through the game. Relevant model primitives are identified from variation in second-highest bids and reserve prices. My estimator builds off the discrete choice literature to address the double nested fixed point characterization of the entry equilib- rium. Using new wine auction data, I estimate that this platform's revenues increase up to 60% when introducing a bidder discount and simultaneously in- creasing seller fees. More bidders enter when the platform is populated with lower-reserve setting sellers, driving up prices. Moreover, I show that mean- ingful antitrust damages can be estimated in a platform setting despite this two-sidedness.

Bidding Strategy and Auction Design
16 ■ Bidding Strategy and Auction Design UCTIONS AS MECHANISMS for selling goods and services date back to ancient Greece and Rome, where slaves and wives were commonly bought and sold at well-known public auction sites. Although the auction waned as a sales mechanism for several centuries after the fall of the Roman Em- pire,A it regained popularity in eighteenth-century Britain and has been a com- mon, if not ubiquitous, method of commerce since that time. Many thousands of people now make purchases at online auctions every day, and some may buy other items by way of mechanisms that are not even recognized as auctions. Despite this long history, the first formal analysis of auctions dates only to 1961 and the path-breaking work of Nobel Prize winner William Vickrey. In the decades that followed, economists have devoted considerable energy to devel- oping a better understanding of sales by auction, from the standpoint of both buyers (bidding strategy) and sellers (auction design). We cover both topics and provide a primer on auction rules and environments in this chapter. Technically, the term “auction” refers to any transaction where the final price of the object for sale is arrived at by way of competitive bidding. Many dif- ferent types of transactions fit this description. For example, the historic Filene’s Basement department store in Boston used a clever pricing strategy to keep cus- tomers coming back for more: it reduced the prices on items remaining on the racks successively each week until either the goods were purchased or the price got so low that it donated the items to charity. -
