• "The present book derives from the symposium "All the beauty of the world. The Western market for non-European artefacts (18th-20th century)" hosted by the Technische Universität Berlin and the Institut d'histoire moderne et contemporaine Paris at the Bauakademie Berlin on 13-15 October 2016. The essays in this volume are based on the papers presented at this symposium, complemented by further contributions." - Acknowledgements
• As more parts of the world outside Europe became accessible =– and in the wake of social and technological developments in the 18th century – a growing number of exotic artefacts entered European markets. The markets for such objects thrived, while a collecting culture and museums emerged. This book provides insights into the methods and places of exchange, networks, prices, expertise, and valuation concepts, as well as the transfer and transport of these artefacts over 300 years and across four continents. The contributions are from international experts, including Ting Chang, Nélia Dias, Noëmie Etienne, Jonathan Fine, Philip Jones, Sylvester Okwunodu Ogbechie, Léa Saint-Raymond, and Masako Yamamoto.
