In just half a century of growth, the art fair industry has transformed the art market. Now, for the first time, art market journalist Melanie Gerlis tells the story of art fairs'rapid ascent and reflects on their uncertain future. From the first post-war European art fairs built on the imperial 19th-century model of the International Exhibitions, to the global art fairs of the 21st century and their new online manifestations, its a tale of many twists and turns. The book brings to life the people, places, and philosophies that enabled art fairs to take root, examines the pivotal market periods when they flourished, and maps where they might go in a much-changed world.

"Contemporary Art Biennials in Europe examines five urban situations in diverse parts of Europe. Roughly tracing a central horizontal strip from the western to the eastern edges of the continent, the events and cities covered are the Folkestone Triennial, UK, Münster Sculpture Projects, Germany, the Venice Biennale, Italy, Belgrade's Mikser Festival, Serbia and the Istanbul Biennial, Turkey. Whybrow establishes how public artworks operate in these contexts as part of a complex prescribed by the format of the biennial event. This means drawing out the extent to which biennial events seek to engage with the complexity of the city in question, in a manner that takes into account local socio-cultural ecologies, while also positioning the event itself within a globalist art world perspective. The book also considers how sited installations - which are very varied in form, as a reflection of a new, eclectic urban aesthetic - tell a particular story of a city, while the regional diversity of these selected cities and events in turn tells a composite story of European difference at a moment of high tension, centring on matters of migration, political populism and uncertainty around the future form of the European Union"--

"En 1959, la première Biennale internationale des jeunes artistes ouvre ses portes au musée d'Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, rejoignant le cercle alors très restreint des grandes manifestations internationales spécialisées en art contemporain. Son ambition était de renforcer la place de la capitale française sur la scène artistique mondiale. Confrontée à maintes difficultés dès sa fondation, cette institution, dont l'organisation et le fonctionnement ne cessèrent de se transformer en vingt-six années d'existence, a néanmoins réussi à donner à voir l'art en train de se faire, à une époque où la guerre froide et de nombreux régimes dictatoriaux limitaient la circulation des gens, des œuvres et des idées. Fruit d'un programme de recherche initié à l'Institut national d'histoire de l'art en 2017 ayant réuni une trentenaire de chercheurs, cette somme inédite propose pour la première fois une réflexion globale et historique internationale et transversale sur la Biennale de Paris, ses espaces, ses engagements, ses paradoxes et ses impasses." --

La réflexion sur les expositions s'est étendue à de multiples champs disciplinaires au cours des dernières années : muséologie, esthétique, sciences politiques, histoire culturelle, sociologie, économie... Une première journée d'étude sur des questions de définition et de descriptions possibles de l'exposition avait permis de montrer une grande diversité d'approches. Le colloque " Histoire(s) d'exposition(s) " de février 2014, dont nous publions ici les actes, a mis en évidence plusieurs types de lecture, sous les angles historique, économique, politique, esthétique avec des approches comparatives à l'échelle internationale
