We analyze art pricing in a unique dataset on Madrid inventories between 1600 and 1750. We estimate a price index for the Spanish art market that is used for a general historical analysis of art during this period, showing a large increase in the real price of paintings during the XVII century. Then we examine the price differential between domestic and foreign paintings: At the beginning of the century domestic production was priced substantially below imported paintings, but the price gap was gradually reduced during the century. We argue that such a price convergence was not the fruit of variations in real exchange rate, relative supply or home bias, but was associated with increasing prices for the new domestic painters of the XVII century. Increasing remuneration for painting may have induced artistic innovations by domestic producers and created the conditions for the development of the Siglo de Oro of Spanish art. 相似文献

We study the art market in the Venetian Republic from 1550 to 1750 analyzing the determinants of the prices (adjusted for the cost of living measured by the price of wheat) of figurative paintings. Reputation of the painters, size of the paintings and other quantifiable factors affect prices as expected. Other relevant factors include the placement of the paintings (on altars, ceilings or walls), whose impact reflects differences in demand elasticities. We find evidence of the law of one price confirming price equalization between high and low demand geographical destinations and between different subjects. Finally, in a Schumpeterian perspective, we relate the temporal trend of the price of a representative painting with waves of artistic innovations, whose peacks were in the 1500s and in the 1700s with a dark Baroque age in the intermediate century. 相似文献

This study investigates the relationship between the market value of artand the nationality of the painter. A sample of modern and contemporaryCanadian and American paintings is analyzed using non-parametric testsand a hedonic regression model. The results show a significantrelationship between aesthetic painting characteristics, such as subjectmatter, and market valuation. In general, the price of Canadian art iswell below that of American art. Even after adjusting for paintingcharacteristics, Canadian paintings appear to be less expensive still.It is believed that Canadian painters looked at the Northern landscapeto define a national identity, thus playing to a limited audience, theonly that could relate to the beauty of the Canadian scenery. Thisprogrammatic approach could explain some of the aforementioneddifferences in market valuation. 相似文献

The renaissance frescoes of the metropolitan cathedral of Valencia, located at the vault of the apse, were restored in 2006. We describe a microclimate monitoring system that was implemented for the preventive conservation of the paintings. It is comprised by a set of temperature and relative humidity sensors positioned at different points of the vault. This system is rather unique because some of these sensors were inserted inside the paintings during the restoration process. A principal components analysis was applied to the data of relative humidity recorded in February 2007. The analysis was repeated in three additional months of 2007. The resulting loading plots highlight the most relevant similarities and dissimilarities among sensors. These plots can be considered as some sort of control maps that could be used to detect abnormal conditions in the future. Actually, moisture problems at certain zones of the frescoes are causing the formation of efflorescence, and the sensors located close to these zones are the ones recording the highest values of relative humidity. 相似文献

The purpose of this article is to suggest a model of calculation in art markets based upon the work of Pierre Bourdieu and of actor-network theory. It will be argued that Bourdieu's concepts of capitals, economic, symbolic and cultural are useful for the specificity they lend to value making processes in the art market. However, actor-network theory's proposal of a distributed form of agency between humans and non-humans (e.g. calcualtion tools) is favoured here, posing a fundamental challenge to Bourdieu's notion of agency as resting solely at the hands of human agents. In order to understand the performance of calculation, this article explores the role of catalogues as an example of a market device in the Scottish auction market. It will be argued that the performativity of the catalogue cannot be fully understood without taking into account not only how it represents and enacts the value/s of aeshtetic objects, e.g. paintings, but also how this performance is mediated by its role as an aesthetic object. 相似文献

Transylvanian glass icons are very specific heritage items of Romanian folk art, produced from the middle of 18th century until now. The present research reports the results of a study on the organic components of the paint layers, analyzing the binding media of a series of glass icons belonging to three important icon making centers: Nicula, Olt County (?ara Oltului) and Brasov area (?cheii Bra?ovului). The analysis of the binding media has been done by means of gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The applied analytical procedure allowed the characterization of the proteinaceous, polysaccharide and lipid-resinous content of the binding media starting from a unique microsample. Results showed that a wide range of materials were used by the icons painters, mostly applied as mixtures of a proteinaceous material and a lipid one. The proteinaceous component proved to be mainly egg, though animal glue and casein were ascertained too, and proteins were often mixed; the lipid material was identified as linseed oil. In some of the icons pine resin and saccharide material were found. Data also highlighted that though the materials used in all the glass icons under study are similar, some particularities could be observed in the painting technique of the studied producing centers and icon painters. 相似文献

In this note, 30,227 paintings by fifty well-known modern and contemporary Australian artists sold at auction over the period
1973–2003 are used to construct a hedonic price index. The attributes included in the hedonic regression model include the
name, age and living status of the artist, the number of works sold, the size and medium of the painting, and the auction
house, month and year in which the painting was sold. The results indicate that returns on Australian modern and contemporary
art averaged nearly five percent over the period with a standard deviation of sixteen percent. The results also show that
a ten percent increase in the Australian stock market is associated with a 3.4 percent increase in the art market. Generally,
artworks by artists deceased at the time of auction, larger works, works executed in oils, and those auctioned by Sotheby's
or Christies in July or August are associated with higher prices. 相似文献

Superstar museums are characterized by (1) great prominence among tourists and world fame among the general population; (2) a large number of visitors; (3) a collection of generally known painters and individual paintings; (4) an exceptional architecture; and (5) a large role of commercialization, including a substantial impact on the local economy. The superstar phenomenon is caused by factors both on the demand and the supply side of the market. Superstar museums are forced to offer total experience to the visitors; they have to relate to events in history, technology, politics, films and TV, and they have to provide for everything from education, food, gifts, shopping to entertainment. The development of superstar status strongly affects museum policy. The strategic orientation emphasizes visitors' demands; the organization has to be decentralized into processes each devoted to particular segments of visitors, to special exhibitions or support activities. There are also major consequences for human resource management, in particular, relating to flexibility and staff composition of paid employees and volunteers. 相似文献

We argue that for the case of heterogeneous commodities with infrequent tradings, such as paintings, it is relevant to base a price index on hedonic regressions using all sales and not resales only. To support this conclusion we construct a price index for paintings by Impressionists and their followers and compare the various estimators using bootstrapping techniques. 相似文献

In most cases, the polychrome paintings that decorated heritage buildings no longer exist or are reduced to mere remnants. These facts decontextualize the sites in their historical and artistic evolution, distort the intention under which they were conceived, and hamper their accomplishment. Current recovery methods are restricted to the stabilization of the remains in their present status, requiring a lot of completely manual work that is expensive and almost unrelated to the use of new technologies. Three-dimensional digitalization and modelling is proved to be the basis for the virtual recovery of paintings in a significant edifice. To do so, an innovative methodology is presented that allows the 3D geometric information of a site (captured using a laser scanner) to be combined with specially designed 2D artistic images. The resulting 3D digital models can then be focused, with high efficiency projectors, on the equivalent area of the original site, and also used as raw material to compose a video-projection without perspective effects to emulate, with due rigour, the primitive appearance, its evolution along time, the effects of the deterioration, or other interesting aspects. The results obtained at Sta. María de Mave (Palencia, Spain) are presented, supporting the potential of this new methodology not only as a scientific way to discuss possible restoration hypotheses with experts or as a didactic tool for narrating the historical evolution of a monument, but also as a spectacular show for tourists. 相似文献

During the past two decades, thanks to the rapid development of solid-state-based sensor technology, digital imaging emerged as one of the most attractive research areas for the noninvasive investigation of paintings and flat artworks. In particular, the commercial availability of high-performance digital cameras opened up new perspectives to transmitted imaging techniques, such as trans-illumination and trans-irradiation, which are based on the acquisition of the visible (Vis) and near infrared (NIR) radiation, respectively, transmitted through the object. Until recently, these techniques were indeed considered to be unsuitable for applications on artefacts, because of the risks of overheating and overexposure to the light of the object under analysis. Nowadays, with the new-generation digital cameras, transmitted imaging can be reconsidered as a possible tool for noninvasive diagnostics on paintings on canvas. These techniques have been proven to be effective for the examination of hidden details, such as underlying drawing, for a study of the pictorial style or the executive techniques, as well as for assessing the state of conservation of the supports. Both trans-illumination and trans-irradiation can be easily implemented by means of professional photographic digital cameras, and therefore offer a valuable alternative to the more expensive well-established methodologies, such as X-ray radiography. In some cases, they are found to be complementary to the conventional techniques in revealing details of the underlying paint layers. Potentials and limits of transmitted imaging techniques are discussed in this paper, starting from three case studies of oil-paintings on canvas that belong to the permanent collection of the Gallery of modern art at the Pitti Palace in Florence. 相似文献

This articles reports new discoveries relating to ground glass and silica in European easel paintings from the 15th to the 17th centuries that were created by various German, Italian and Netherlandish artists. The earliest known additions of these extenders date to the early 1430s. Glass powder of varying fineness, prepared from vessel or window cullet, is often found in red lake glazes as well as in other colours or preparatory layers of paintings. SEM/EDX analyses of the glass particles reveal a variety of chemical compositions (soda ash, wood ash, wood ash-lime, wood ash-lead, mixed alkali), which are discussed with respect to the provenance of the paintings. Historical sources on painting techniques mention glass additions most frequently to accelerate drying of oil paints, but also occasionally to facilitate grinding of pigments. Another possible function of powdered glass and silica, especially in oil-bound red lake glazes, is that of a transparent filler, as will be here discussed based on paint trials. 相似文献

ABSTRACTThis paper explores how pricing has historically been involved in the making up of persons and how the ability to ‘personalize’ price is reconfiguring the ability of markets to discriminate. We discuss a variety of contemporary pricing practices, and three types of personhood they produce: generic, protected, and transcontextual. While some contemporary developments in pricing draw on understandings of the person that are quite familiar, others are novel and likely to be contested. We argue that many newer pricing techniques make it harder for consumers to identify themselves as part of a recognized group. We conclude that contemporary price personalization should be understood in terms of the intensification of individualization in combination with dividualization, and as such, contributes to novel and consequential forms of classification. 相似文献

This article presents an empirical study of paintings that have failed to meet their reserve price at auction. In the art
trade, it is often claimed that when an advertised item goes unsold at auction, it will sell for less in the future. We have
constructed a new dataset specifically for the purpose of testing this proposition. To preview our results, we find that paintings
which come to auction and failed return significantly less when they are eventually sold than those paintings that have not
been advertised at auction between sales. These lower returns may occur because of common value effects, idiosyncratic downward
trends in tastes, or changes in the seller’s reserve price.

The Carrera del Darro is a street within the city of Granada, Spain, which is emblematic owing to the architectural value of its buildings, to its significance for the urban structure of the city and to the implications it has for the surroundings of the Alhambra. Our study concerns the chemical analysis of the mural paintings on four façades, corresponding to numbers 23, 25, 27 and 29 of the Carrera del Darro. From the analysis of the mortar, it may be concluded that the composition is very similar, though not identical, in the four paintings studied: a limestone mortar. Ochre, white, black and red were used for the decoration of the four façades; green pigment was also observed in the second decoration of no. 29. The results of the morphological examination and EDX microanalysis of the paint samples are shown. By means of the thermogravimetric analysis we established the existence of an organically derived compound. After the existence of an oleaginous binder had been discounted by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis, we continued with the extraction and determination of proteins by spectrophotometry analysis, detecting low levels of proteins in the paint on the four façades analysed. The study was completed by evaluating the influence on the deterioration of the paintings by the possible surface presence of salts (such as nitrates or chlorides) and organic compounds. 相似文献

A new possible methodology for recognizing the nature of gypsum in artworks, in particular for wall paintings, was developed. Calcium sulfate can be an alteration product of the calcium carbonate, or a component used by the Artist himself; the problem of identification of the presence and the nature of gypsum could be found detecting the presence of strontium. This element could be used as a marker since, differently from the alteration form, in mineral gypsum simultaneous presence of calcium and strontium occurs. The correlation between these two elements may be recognized using non-invasive in situ X-ray fluorescence measurements. In the present work, we tested this occurrence in various mineral samples of gypsum and alabaster as well in tempera, fresco and Egyptian paintings. Considering the new possible role of strontium indicating the presence of natural gypsum, we expect to provide a valuable tool for conservation scientists, restorers and art historians. 相似文献

Are Multiple Art Markets Rational? 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
We advance and subsequently test the proposition thatmarkets for fine art are rational, namely, that, inthe determination of price, traders make use of allrelevant art historical and critical information, asrevealed by hedonic content analysis, as well as allinformation on authenticity of the works offered forsale. If true, the proposition has consequences forpublic policy. Museums optimize choices among art historicallysignificant authentic paintings distributed asstochastic rare events in the tertiary market for art. Such paintings have few, if any, art historicallyequivalent substitutes, causing the demand for suchworks of art to be extremely inelastic. Museums tendto buy at the top of the information curve; payingprices which exceed market averages for similar art. As a result, society pays the cost of institutionalrisk aversion. In contrast, collectors often purchaseart before all art historical information is complete,and often earn a reward for assuming a risk due toincomplete information (Singer, 1991; Pomerhene, 1994).Collectors who can borrow to accumulate the highestcategory art can consume the services of their artcollection at zero cost. Stochastic transferfunctions fitted to time series of sales volume at thetwo top international auction houses confirm thehypothesis that the highest category of art is a quasisubstitute for financial instruments (liquid wealth). 相似文献

The aim of this study is to develop a laboratory technique to simulate a natural ageing of canvas paintings adopting artificial ageing methods in air (thermal oxidation), in the absence of light. Four models of canvas paintings aged up to 315 years are considered. Paintings are constituted of oil film on oil ground layer, oil film on tempera ground layer, tempera film on tempera ground layer or by tempera film on oil ground layer. Surface strength and the colour of the paintings and the degree of polymerization (DP) of linen canvas were evaluated at different steps of ageing. The degradative result was estimated as the DP of linen canvas after prefixed times of microbial attack. 相似文献
