摘要
这篇文章分析了比利时画廊的商业运作,比利时画廊是由画家Ferdinand De Braekeleer the Younger于1852年在纽约市成立的一家商业画廊。在比利时政府的帮助下,De Braekeleer建立了一个豪华的展览空间,建立了一批首批对当代欧洲艺术有兴趣的美国收藏家的客户群,制定了新的宣传和分销策略,并成功地将比利时艺术推广为一个名副其实的国家品牌。这个案例研究提供了一个罕见的一瞥,一个早期的商业艺术画廊在美国的运作。它还表明,在19世纪50年代初,导致美国内战后收藏黄金时代的条件已经在发展,并创造了重要的商业机会。
Selling the Belgian School: The Belgian Gallery in New York City (1852–55)
This article analyzes the business operations of the Belgian Gallery, a commercial art gallery established in New York City in 1852 by painter Ferdinand De Braekeleer the Younger. Aided by the Belgian government, De Braekeleer set up a luxurious exhibition space, built a client base of some of the the first American collectors with a taste for contemporary European art, devised new strategies for publicity and distribution, and succeeded in marketing Belgian art as a veritable national brand. This case study offers a rare glimpse into the operations of an early commercial art gallery in the United States. It also shows that the conditions that would lead to the golden age of collecting in the U.S. after the Civil War were already developing and creating important business opportunities in the early 1850s.
