About
Goal
This project centers on the art dealer as a crucial actor in the creation of the collections, museums, and ideas that characterized the emergence of the American art world in the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Utilizing the Getty Provenance Index® as well as the Getty Research Institute’s dealer archives from this period—Knoedler, Duveen, Goupil, and others—the research investigates the strategies adopted by dealers, collectors, and experts as they positioned the American market as a major player in the dynamic international exchange of art.
