"Ten exponents of contemporary art are the protagonists of the exhibition 'Senzamargine. Passages in Italian Art at the Turn of the Millennium,' an original panorama of the country's artistic geography between the twentieth and twenty-first century, and one that sets out to reflect its multiplicity and differences. Through the essays of an international group of critics and scholars, this volume offers an exhaustive introduction to the work of the ten artists, offering new interpretations and points for reflection on which to base a rewriting of the canon of the art of the last few decades. Against the background of the need for a new account of the Italian experience, one that also looks beyond the nation's borders and is able to draw attention to the coexistence within it of individual traditions, lines, and vectors that cannot be traced back to a common root or 'identity.' A pluralistic trait that constitutes not just one of the most significant aspects of Italian artistic production but also the vital contribution that it is able to make to the deterritorialized scenario of contemporary culture, considered in all its hyperbolic global simultaneity"--Page 4 of cover.

The global art market has recently been valued at close to $50bn - a rise of over 60% since the global financial crisis. These figures are driven by demand from China and other emerging markets, as well as the growing phenomenon of the artist bypassing dealers as a market force in his/her own right. This new textbook integrates, updates and enhances the popular aspects of two well-regarded texts - Understanding International Arts Markets and The Art Business. Topics covered include: Emerging markets in China, East Asian, South East Asian, Brazilian, Russian, Islamic and Indian art, Art valuation and investment, Museums and the cultural sector. This revitalized new textbook will continue to be essential reading for students on courses such as arts management, arts marketing, arts business, cultural economics, the sociology of arts, and cultural policy.
