Abstract

"The Arts of Collecting: Padre Sebastiano Resta and the Market for Drawings in Early Modern Europe examines the collection of art through an anthropological examination of exchange and the social roles of material culture. Focusing on the collector Sebastiano Resta, Genevieve Warwick brings to light a crucial chapter in the history of collecting, that of the migration of art objects out of Italy to northern Europe during the late seventeenth century. Her study pins the history of collecting to broader changes in European economic history and analyzes the epistemological frameworks for viewing that accompanied this transfer of artistic wealth. Warwick also demonstrates how early modern art collecting was shaped by the social mores of elite behavior, which equated the collector's possessive desires with the courtly ideals of the "arts of love"."--Jacket.

Abstract

Between the 1870s and the 1930s competing European powers carved out and consolidated colonies in Melanesia, the most culturally diverse region of the world. As part of this process, great assemblages of ethnographic artefacts were made by a range of collectors whose diversity is captured in this volume. The contributors to this tightly-integrated volume take these collectors, and the collecting institutions, as the departure point for accounts that look back at the artefact-producing societies and their interaction with the collectors, but also forward to the fate of the collections in metropolitan museums, as the artefacts have been variously exhibited, neglected, re-conceived as indigenous heritage, or repatriated. In doing this, the contributors raise issues of current interest in anthropology, Pacific history, art history, museology, and material culture.
