Appraisers often rely on private sales data from dealers, highlighting the crucial role art dealers play in the art market. 🎨🌍 Dive into the pivotal role of art dealers in shaping the transatlantic art market from the late 19th to early 20th centuries! In an often overlooked perspective of the art market's history this new publication, "Money in the Air: Art Dealers and the Making of a Transatlantic Market, 1880–1930," shows how these figures not only influenced art collections but also significantly impacted the foundations of major American art museums. #ArtHistory #ArtMarket #ArtDealers

Many archives and museum professionals are curious what took The Met so long. When we developed our accessioning program, provenance research, verification, and record augmentation became the norm. We also implemented context control throughout the entire collection management process. I often argue that it is this type of work which necessitates records management for cultural heritage organizations. #archives #museums #provenance #recordsmanagement #documentationcontrol

#Legacy150: 'The Museum will not be Decolonised' conference schedule is now live https://lnkd.in/gyTEreAh Sumaya Kassim writes that “Museums are not neutral in their preservation of history. In fact, arguably, they are sites of forgetfulness and fantasy”. Her discussion was based on work she and colleagues did with Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, and it holds true of many museums throughout the UK. It is the “forgetfulness” of the objects’ lived history and the “fantasy” of these objects being out of time that is endemic in museum spaces. In this conference we discuss objects held in non-ethnographic museums and explore what they mean as representations of human experience, how we can accurately represent their lived experience using digital technologies and their weight as political and social signifiers in the contemporary world. The conference provides a space for interested parties to discuss the ways objects are presented and their histories represented.

But beyond the headlines, this change reflects a broader conversation in the museum world. How can institutions like the British Museum not only protect their collections but also respect the histories and civilizations they represent? As museums become more tech-savvy, they must also face the ethical questions surrounding their collections. Is it going to be done? What are your thoughts on the future of museums? Are we heading toward a more responsible and inclusive museum experience? Let’s discuss!
