Art Market Dictionary - AMD Online
The Art Market Dictionary (AMD) is the first encompassing reference work on the art market and its historical development. It will provide key information on central agents such as auction houses, commercial galleries, art dealers, and advisers. Each entry will give brief business histories or biographies followed by notes on areas of specialization, artists represented, principal exhibitions and publications as well as significant transactions. The AMD will also list resources with additional information including archives, museums, libraries, databases, and scholarly literature. Where available, it will include illustrations of relevant documentary material such as outstanding works of art handled by a particular gallery, interior and exterior photographs, catalog covers and posters, stamps and labels affixed to inventory, stationery, and handwriting samples. The project begins with Europe and North America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
