Private Sales
2 Private Sales n recent years, the commercial fragility of what were perceived to be preeminent New York art galleries was laid bare in newspaper head- lines and lawsuits that highlighted the financial woes of the hap- less collectors who consigned art to be sold, and the art purchasers Iwho acquired more (or less) than they bargained for. That fragility renders art transactions commercially unique when it is combined with the in- trinsic properties of fine art. The artwork, for one thing, is often singular and ir- replaceable. Moreover, its value, which largely depends on the artist’s reputation at the time of the sale, may fluctuate extensively because an artist’s reputation is largely subject to public whim. And artwork is frequently purchased on impulse by a shockingly uninformed buyer: The buyer often turns a blind eye to securing a written purchase contract (let alone to having the contract reviewed by legal counsel), neglects to have the property physically inspected or professionally ap- praised, fails to do a title search, and, if the work is a fine-art multiple, makes no inquiry about the technique of production. Defects abound in artwork as frequently as in other property. Accordingly, the art buyer should observe the same precautions ordinarily used by the prudent buyer in other commercial transactions of like value. Those precautions are ad- dressed at length throughout the three main sections of this chapter: Sales by Dealers, Sales by Collectors, and Secured Transactions. SALES BY DEALERS Whether the dealer is a private dealer, a single commercial gallery, or a gallery with numerous branches or franchised outlets, the dealer’s art sales are governed by principles of contract and tort law, by federal and state penal statutes, and in certain jurisdictions by specific legislation regulating sales of art. -

Market Evolution of Art Dealers
Market Evolution of Art Dealers Dakshina G. De Silva Marina Gertsberg Rachel A. J. Pownall Lancaster University∗ Maastricht Universityy Maastricht Universityz October 31, 2017 Abstract Using a unique historical data set, we show the value of expertise and reputation during the evolution of the art market. First, we illustrate how market dynamics encourage entry of dealers with heterogeneous characteristics. Second, our results provide evidence that relatively larger dealers pay about 21% more for an artwork of the same quality than smaller dealers as a result of their accumulated experience and reputation. Third, our results indicate that larger dealers are more likely to survive in the market. Our evidence outlines the importance of accumulation of market power in an emerging market characterized by uncertainty and heterogeneity.

Tracking the evolution of the market, we observe dealers' entry, bidding, and survival patterns from 1800 to 1913. -

Natalia Goncharova's Canonization in Europe After 1945
Natalia Goncharova’s canonization in Europe after 1945 Elena Korowin Introduction The Russian avant-garde artist Natalia Sergeevna Goncharova (1881-1962) is considered to be one of the major female artists of the early twentieth century. Of all female artists internationally, her works are now among the most expensive; however, the canonization process of her work was quite sluggish. The aim of this paper is to trace the way Goncharova entered the canon of modern art in Europe. In doing so, it will show how differently the canonization processes of male and female as well as exile and non-exile artists from Russia developed in the twentieth century. Therefore, it is important to mark the milestones in Goncharova’s case of canonization: 1. The first acquisitions of her works by Musée National d’Art Moderne in 1950 and by the Tate in 1952. 2. Her recognition within the feminist context in the 1970s, which started with the exhibition Woman Artists 1550-1950. 3. Goncharova’s rising prices on the art market in the 2000s. To understand these three turns it is necessary to observe the cultural-political situation after 1945 in order to contextualize the reception of Russian avant-garde in the West and to answer the following questions: Why was Goncharova ‘discovered’ so late compared to other artists, particularly male artists of the Russian avant-garde; in other words, how does Goncharova’s canonization relate to the canonization of Malevich, Tatlin and especially of Mikhail Larionov? Who were the main actors in promoting her work? This analysis will provide a detailed understanding of the way early Russian art was promoted in Germany, France and England in the post-war period and how it became a part of the modernist canon in art history. -

Like a snapshot it captures a moment in time, one that tells a compelling story that is rich in detail and resonates with meaning about the subject it represents. With this analogy in mind, we hope that as you read this account of our operations during fiscal year 2012 you will not only appreciate all that has been accomplished at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, but also see how this work has served to fulfill the mission of this institution through the continued development and care of our collection, the presentation of a broad range of exhibitions and programs, and the strengthening of our relationship to the com- munity through education and outreach. In this regard, continuity is vitally important. In other words, what the Museum was founded to do in 1876 is as essential today as it was then. Fostering the understanding and appreciation of the work of great artists and nurturing the spirit of creativity in all of us are enduring values without which we, individually and collectively, would be greatly diminished. If continuity—the responsibility for sustaining the things that we value most—is impor- tant, then so, too, is a commitment to change. -

Ideally Reality: Alignment of Deaccession Policy and Emerging Practice in History Museums
Ideally Reality: Alignment of Deaccession Policy and Emerging Practice in History Museums Tomasina de Vitis A thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Washington 2012 Committee: Wilson O’Donnell Sarah Samson Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Museology i Ideally Reality: Alignment of Deaccession Policy and Emerging Practice in History Museums Tomasina de Vitis Abstract Deaccessioning artifacts from museums has become a widely accepted practice as a tool for responsible and sustainable collections management. Standard deaccession policies have been developed to govern the ethical practices, and are valuable tools for accountability. However, there is a lack of research into practical application of deaccession policies in museums. This study is designed to explore the alignment of current best practices found in policies with the emerging application within history museums. The research relies on the analysis of written policies from museums and discussions regarding their deaccession projects for consistencies, and the prevalent practices as they coincide with the policies. The purpose of this study is to determine which parts of the ideal process of deaccessioning represented by policy are manifest when applied to the wide variety of material found in history museum collections. Nine museums from across the country were selected to participate in the study. Eight submitted a copy of the deaccession policy used in their institution, and staff from each museum participated in a semi-structured interview to discuss their deaccessioning practices. The results of this research show that although transferring objects is the advocated preference for the majority of museums, in practice the disposal methods chosen rely heavily on the object’s physical and historical integrity.
