The Art Market and the Global South

The Art Markets and the ‘Global South’, edited by Adelaide Duarte e Marta Pérez-Ibáñez, is a collective volume that gathers scholars’ contributions, analyzing the Art Markets in a cross-disciplinary perspective through the lenses of the Global South.

This book examines the art markets of the Global South while questioning, based on the heterogeneity of the selected contributions, the very idea of its existence in the context of the global art market.

Gathering new research by recognized scholars, you will discover different markets from the so-called Global South, their structure, the external determinants affecting their behavior, their role in the art system’s development, and how they articulate with other agents at the local, regional, and international level. In this publication, an important wealth of research on various African countries stands out, providing an unprecedented overview of the markets in that region.
