Abstract (en)

Examines how the Italian art market continues to grow through auction houses and dealers, even with the threat of national recession. Explores the market's traditional strength in Old Masters, and collectors' growing interest in contemporary art and 19th-c. works, across diverse media such as paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts. Cites Italian export laws as a limiting factor on art sales there.
