Modeling On-Line Art Auction Dynamics Using Functional Data
Statistical Science 2006, Vol. 21, No. 2, 179–193 DOI: 10.1214/088342306000000196 c Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2006 Modeling On-Line Art Auction Dynamics Using Functional Data Analysis Srinivas K. Reddy and Mayukh Dass Abstract. In this paper, we examine the price dynamics of on-line art auc- tions of modern Indian art using functional data analysis. The purpose here is not just to understand what determines the final prices of art objects, but also the price movement during the entire auction. We identify several factors, such as artist characteristics (established or emerging artist; prior sales history), art characteristics (size; painting medium—canvas or paper), competition characteristics (current number of bidders; current number of bids) and auction design characteristics (opening bid; position of the lot in the auction), that explain the dynamics of price movement in an on-line art auction. We find that the effects on price vary over the duration of the auc- tion, with some of these effects being stronger at the beginning of the auc- tion (such as the opening bid and historical prices realized). In some cases, the rate of change in prices (velocity) increases at the end of the auction (for canvas paintings and paintings by established artists). Our analysis sug- gests that the opening bid is positively related to on-line auction price levels of art at the beginning of the auction, but its effect declines toward the end of the auction. The order in which the lots appear in an art auction is nega- tively related to the current price level, with this relationship decreasing to- ward the end of the auction. -
Frontier Culture: the Roots and Persistence of “Rugged Individualism” in the United States Samuel Bazzi, Martin Fiszbein, and Mesay Gebresilasse NBER Working Paper No
Frontier Culture: The Roots and Persistence of “Rugged Individualism” in the United States Samuel Bazzi, Martin Fiszbein, and Mesay Gebresilasse NBER Working Paper No. 23997 November 2017, Revised August 2020 JEL No. D72,H2,N31,N91,P16 ABSTRACT The presence of a westward-moving frontier of settlement shaped early U.S. history. In 1893, the historian Frederick Jackson Turner famously argued that the American frontier fostered individualism. We investigate the Frontier Thesis and identify its long-run implications for culture and politics. We track the frontier throughout the 1790–1890 period and construct a novel, county-level measure of total frontier experience (TFE). Historically, frontier locations had distinctive demographics and greater individualism. Long after the closing of the frontier, counties with greater TFE exhibit more pervasive individualism and opposition to redistribution. This pattern cuts across known divides in the U.S., including urban–rural and north–south. We provide evidence on the roots of frontier culture, identifying both selective migration and a causal effect of frontier exposure on individualism. Overall, our findings shed new light on the frontier’s persistent legacy of rugged individualism.

Project Report: Team 4 Predicting the Price of Art at Auction
Project Report: Team 4 Predicting the Price of Art at Auction Bhavya Agarwal, Farhan Ali, Prema Kolli, and Xiufeng Yang Department of Computer Science, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-4400 {bhavya.agarwal,farhan.ali}@stonybrook.edu,{pkolli,xiuyang}@cs. stonybrook.edu http://www.cs.stonybrook.edu/~skiena/591/projects 1 Challenge An art auction is the sale of art works in a competition setting. Our primary goal is to predict the price of an art piece/painting in an art auction. We are focusing only on auctions, which occur in auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's. In this project, we try to predict the price of art to be sold at Sotheby's auction in London on 3 December 2014. We are trying to build a generic model, capable of predicting price of any piece of art to be sold based on a variety of features associated with an artist, auction house and the piece of art itself. There is a famous quote in the movie "The Monuments Men" where the actor George Clooney talks about the importance/significance of art. He says that wiping out any generation's art history is equivalent to wiping out the entire generation itself. "You can wipe out the entire generation, you can burn their homes to the ground and somehow they will still find their way back. But you can destroy their history, destroy their achievements and this is it they never existed. That is what we are exactly fighting for." Predicting the price of a painting in an art auction turns out be a challenging task as there are lot of functional dynamics involved in the whole auction process. -
Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place
Promise Beheld and the Limits of Place A Historic Resource Study of Carlsbad Caverns and Guadalupe Mountains National Parks and the Surrounding Areas By Hal K. Rothman Daniel Holder, Research Associate National Park Service, Southwest Regional Office Series Number Acknowledgments This book would not be possible without the full cooperation of the men and women working for the National Park Service, starting with the superintendents of the two parks, Frank Deckert at Carlsbad Caverns National Park and Larry Henderson at Guadalupe Mountains National Park. One of the true joys of writing about the park system is meeting the professionals who interpret, protect and preserve the nation’s treasures. Just as important are the librarians, archivists and researchers who assisted us at libraries in several states. There are too many to mention individuals, so all we can say is thank you to all those people who guided us through the catalogs, pulled books and documents for us, and filed them back away after we left. One individual who deserves special mention is Jed Howard of Carlsbad, who provided local insight into the area’s national parks. Through his position with the Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society, he supplied many of the photographs in this book. We sincerely appreciate all of his help. And finally, this book is the product of many sacrifices on the part of our families. This book is dedicated to LauraLee and Lucille, who gave us the time to write it, and Talia, Brent, and Megan, who provide the reasons for writing. Hal Rothman Dan Holder September 1998 i Executive Summary Located on the great Permian Uplift, the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad Caverns national parks area is rich in prehistory and history. -

THE FRONTIER in AMERICAN CULTURE (HIS 324-01) University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Spring 2014 Tuesday and Thursday 3:30-4:45Pm ~ Curry 238
THE FRONTIER IN AMERICAN CULTURE (HIS 324-01) University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Spring 2014 Tuesday and Thursday 3:30-4:45pm ~ Curry 238 Instructor: Ms. Sarah E. McCartney Email: [email protected] (may appear as [email protected]) Office: MHRA 3103 Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday from 2:15pm-3:15pm and by appointment Mailbox: MHRA 2118A Course Description: Albert Bierstadt, Emigrants Crossing the Plains (1867). This course explores the ways that ideas about the frontier and the lived experience of the frontier have shaped American culture from the earliest days of settlement through the twenty- first century. Though there will be a good deal of information about the history of western expansion, politics, and the settlement of the West, the course is designed primarily to explore the variety of meanings the frontier has held for different generations of Americans. Thus, in addition to settlers, politicians, and Native Americans, you will encounter artists, writers, filmmakers, and an assortment of pop culture heroes and villains. History is more than a set of facts brought out of the archives and presented as “the way things were;” it is a careful construction held together with the help of hypotheses and assumptions.1 Therefore, this course will also examine the “construction” of history as you analyze primary sources, discuss debates in secondary works written by historians, and use both primary and secondary sources to create your own interpretation of history.

The Agency of Auctions in Emergent Art Genres in the Global South
arts Article Materialising Markets: The Agency of Auctions in Emergent Art Genres in the Global South Anita Archer Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne, Parkville, VIC 3010, Australia; [email protected] Received: 1 September 2020; Accepted: 10 October 2020; Published: 18 October 2020 Abstract: For the last two decades, the international auction houses Sotheby’s and Christie’s have been at the forefront of global art market expansion. Their world-wide footprints have enabled auction house specialists to engage with emerging artists and aspiring collectors, most notably in the developing economies of the Global South. By establishing their sales infrastructure in new locales ahead of the traditional mechanisms of primary market commercial galleries, the international auction houses have played a foundational role in the notional construction of new genres of art. However, branding alone is not sufficient to establish these new markets; the auction houses require a network of willing supporters to facilitate and drive marketplace supply and demand, be that trans-locational art market intermediaries, local governments, and/or regional auction businesses. This paper examines emerging art auction markets in three Global South case studies. It elucidates the strategic mechanisms and networks of international and regional art auction houses in the development of specific genres of contemporary art: Hong Kong and ‘Chinese contemporary art’, Singapore and ‘Southeast Asian art’, and Australia and ‘Aboriginal art’. Through examination and comparison of these three markets, this paper draws on research conducted over the past decade to reveal an integral role played by art auctions in the expansion of broader contemporary art world infrastructure in the Global South. -
