The Art Market Dictionary becomes:
Bloomsbury Art Markets.
Bloomsbury Art Markets (BAM) is the first comprehensive scholarly guide to art galleries, auction houses, art fairs, and agents from multiple national and historical contexts.
Several highly distinguished partner institutions and more than five hundred specialized authors have joined us to establish a comprehensive map of the art trade.
Comprising 4000 entries—covering Europe (incl. Russia) and North America in the 20th and 21st centuries—BAM is published as a digital reference work by Bloomsbury Plc. BAM's first part was launched in March 2023.
