🧵Tom McNulty #ArtMarket Research (2014 2ndEd) is a good bibliography to start with, with chapter 8 on the sources for historic markets. For the #18C, the most recent is @GettyMuseum London and the Emergence of a European Art Market (2019)

For European markets, mining Titia Hulst's A History of the Western #ArtMarket @ucpress is a must. It covers Italian city states, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Germany and Spain, London and Paris for the #18C
Most art market studies are done on a national level (viz, eco and law histories often are) Let me however bring your attention to the groundbreaking @DriesLyna and Jan Dirk Baetans Art Crossing Borders @brill 2019

She also needs the name of an English town where peasants would have met both weavers and foreigners at the fair because that’s part of the mystery plot and she doesn’t want to be told off by #medievaltwitter. And no, Nottingham doesn’t work. Already taken.3/
