Abstract: <\/strong>Using the metaphor of a carousel, this talk will focus on the emergence of markets for modern and contemporary art in regions which hitherto where off the map of global art.\u00a0Only 25 years ago, China, which now ranks among the three largest art markets of the world, had no market to speak of. How could this market emerge so rapidly? Four rounds of the carousel are distinguished in the process of market\u00a0emergence. Each round is characterized by its own set of actors, who\u00a0make distinct contributions to\u00a0the creation of the\u00a0formal and informal institutions\u00a0which enable markets to function.\u00a0Empirically, I will draw on both qualitative and quantitative data collected in a five-year, cross-comparative research project on the emergence of art markets in Brazil, Russia, India and China.<\/p>\n
