It brings new attention to 18th-century craftswomen and men with its focus on the material knowledge possessed not only by professional artisans and amateur makers, but also by skilled consumers. This book gathers together a group of interdisciplinary scholars working in the fields of art history, history, literature and museum studies to unearth the tactile and tacit knowledge that underpinned fashion, tailoring and textile production. It invites us into the workshops, drawing rooms and backrooms of a broad range of creators, and uncovers how production and manual knowledge extended beyond the factories and machines which dominate industrial histories.This book illuminates, for the first time, the material literacies learnt, enacted and understood by British producers and consumers.

Often circulating beyond the white cube of the museum, these collaborations between cultural producers and business enterprise, moreover, represented most Americans' first or primary exposure to modern art, design, and architecture. This volume will not only encourage business historians to take corporate visual culture more seriously but also urge art historians to reconsider the facile distinctions between commercial culture and the avant-garde that have shaped the field. * John Ott, Professor of Art History, James Madison University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eWriting in 1927, the American advertising executive Earnest Elmo Calkins declared that “beauty [is] the new business tool.”  This anthology re-considers the modern alliance between art and industry that laid the foundation for the ubiquitous corporate sponsorship of our own time.

Now, however, Cifuentes has another mission: he is redeploying his skills to analyse art, exploring issues such as the relative return and risk profile of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s paintings. (Complex calculations in his co-authored book The Worth of Art suggest that Basquiat not only outperforms US equities, but also works by Renoir and Matisse.)… At art fairs, financialisation remains a dirty word.

Many sold for millions, and one even sold for $69 million. And yet what exactly are they, and why do they have value? This is the definitive book on NFTs in the story of art and collecting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is co-authored by an art historian who has written often on the value of art and the history of collecting. NFTs caught Noah Charney’s attention and fascinated him. He, too, felt that initial knee-jerk reaction that so many who hear of a $69 million sale do: how is this digital image different from me clicking “right-click save” on my touchpad and downloading it to my computer? Why would anyone pay $69 million for something that’s not f*cking there?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides answers to these questions and far more. Charney sees in NFTs a direct parallel to the history, sociology and psychology of art collecting. He was recently a “normee” but he’s now halfway inside the club—he is also an acknowledged authority on the history of art and collecting. He knows all there is to know about humans collecting things of no practical value but that we just really want. But then he worked for a period with two crypto-related companies, and got to know this world from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe’s not alone on this ride. The second half of this book is written by someone who knows just about all there is to know about NFTs: Kenny Schachter. Kenny is an artist, collector, curator, professor, columnist and NFT influencer. In fact, he was listed in the fall of 2021 as among the 30 most influential people in the world of NFTs. He even coined (and trademarked) a term, NFTism. While Charney is an art historian considering the NFT phenomenon from the thoughtful but remote perch of his couch, examining NFTs historical and within the context of collecting and the value of art, Kenny has been “in the field” more than anyone, even during the pandemic, zipping from London to Zurich to Art Basel Switzerland to Art Basel Miami. He has his finger on the virtual, digital pulse of this fascinating, bizarre, hugely lucrative phenomenon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the definitive book on NFTs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA great read for people who are looking to learn more about NFTs and are wondering how this breakthrough technology has impacted our world today.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Alexander Salnikov, co-founder of Rarible","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867538665815,"sku":"9781538174753","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538174753.jpg?v=1722283769"},{"product_id":"what-they-didnt-teach-you-in-art-school-what-you-need-to-know-to-survive-as-an-artist-9781781577097","title":"What They Didn't Teach You in Art School: What","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eYou have the artistic talent, but do you know how to make a success of it? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTurning your passion into a career in the fiercely competitive art world means becoming your own finance, business, and marketing manager - as well as a researcher, curator and administrator. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom writing your first proposal to gaining gallery representation and dealing with the pressures of commercial success, this enlightening, no-nonsense book is your guide, providing all the advice, real-world experience, and inspiration you need to survive and thrive as a working artist.\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Octopus Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868221550935,"sku":"9781781577097","price":14.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781781577097.jpg?v=1722286983"},{"product_id":"the-creative-business-handbook-follow-your-passions-and-be-your-own-boss-9781797219059","title":"The Creative Business Handbook: Follow Your","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOffering veteran insight and friendly, actionable advice from two self-made women who have helmed four successful creative businesses, this practical guide to becoming a creative entrepreneur will speak to anyone wanting to make art, be their own boss, and not have to work a second job to make ends meet.

Most currently don’t. Scene change is a phrase tied to the arts when discussing a literal change from one scene in a play to another, eliciting a new time, place, and situation. Here, however, it refers to actions made at this pivotal moment within the entire sector, where the rules that went into play over half a century ago can no longer apply for the arts to serve their nonprofit purpose. That charitable purpose -- to help those who need the help -- cannot exist in an environment of privilege, exclusivity, and the subjective concept of excellence. Excellence does not put food on a hungry person’s table, if they even have a table. In his brilliantly unpretentious, snarky, and hilarious style, Alan Harrison pulls no punches. He identifies and addresses elitism, defines and defuses toxicity, and provides outlines for success, including a hopeful prediction for the future. This book also provides context for the pinball journeys of a 30-year adventure, leading nonprofit arts organizations in America -- warts and all.","brand":"Collective Ink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868555391319,"sku":"9781803414461","price":18.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781803414461.jpg?v=1722288605"},{"product_id":"how-to-become-a-successful-artist-9781838662424","title":"How To Become A Successful Artist","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003e“\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e[\u003ci\u003eHow to Become a Successful Artist\u003c\/i\u003e]\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003egoes straight to the business of being an artist...

Curating has a pivotal   position in the art world: it is embedded in the identity and expertise of   the museum and plays an ever-increasing role in the commercial art sector   too.

How diverse and inclusive is curating as a profession, and how   does that inform the art and artists who come to prominence? How possible is   it to conduct exploratory and inclusive curatorial work in the challenging   economic climate of the early 2020s? What is the extent of a curator’s   autonomy within the various institutions and structures in which they work,   and what power dynamics are at work between artists and curators? Finally,   how might digital art and exhibition-making give way to hybrid forms of   practice, and even challenge the face of traditional curating? Lilian   Cameron’s lively review addresses all of these issues, and considers the   future landscape of curating in an uncertain world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'\u003cem\u003eCurating Art Now\u003c\/em\u003e is a bold and engaging attempt to examine the fundamental contradictions and pressures faced by the field of curating in an increasingly fractured post-truth world.

Private museums can add greatly to the cultural life of a community, giving a platform to emerging artists, supplying educational programmes and revitalising declining or neglected regions.

This book looks at both the historic and contemporary contexts for this recent state-led focus on art in the Kingdom; at how its planned events and programs stand apart, in resource, scale and ambition, from seemingly similar initiatives coming from that region; and at both the opportunities and pitfalls, not just for the burgeoning art world of Saudi Arabia, but for practitioners and professionals around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword; Introduction: Art as a Catalyst for Social Change in Saudi Arabia; 1 From Past to Present: The Sources of Saudi Arabia’s Culture Drive; 2 A New Saudi Arabia: Art on the Frontlines of Social Transformation; 3 Culture Wars in the Gulf and the Unique Case of Saudi Arabia; 4 A Delicate Balancing Act: Art Creation Amid Unpredictability of the State; 5 State-Controlled Cultural Production, Art World Infrastructures and A Nascent Private Sector; 6 Engaging with Saudi Arabia’s New Arts Playing Field: Opportunities and New Perspectives; Conclusion: Saudi Arabia's New Creative Economy; Further Reading; Index\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lund Humphries Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868738498903,"sku":"9781848226395","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781848226395.jpg?v=1722289477"},{"product_id":"the-artists-guide-to-selling-work-9781912217472","title":"The Artist's Guide to Selling Work","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA one-stop resource containing everything artists need to know to sell their work.\u003c\/b\u003e  This best-selling guide provides all the advice you need to sell your work in today's competitive market.

From glittering black-tie events to the anonymity of the digital realm, auctions stage the creation of value and can make or break artists' careers. They are a strange phenomenon: relics from the 18th century which remain at the heart of the art market.
