The knock-on effect was the growth of the market for Old Masters from the 1790s up to the early 1930s, when the Great Depression put an end to its expansion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores the global movement of Old Master paintings and investigates some of the changes in the art market that took place as a result of this new interest. Arguably, the most important phenomenon was the diminishing of the traditional figure of the art agent and the rise of more visible, increasingly professional, dealerships; firms such as Colnaghi and Agnew's in Britain, Goupil in France and Knoedler in the USA, came into existence. \u003ci\u003eOld Masters Worldwide\u003c\/i\u003e explores the ways in which the pioneering practices of such businesses contributed to shape a changing market.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusanna Avery-Quash\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Research Curator (History of Collecting) at the National Gallery, UK, where she is responsible for activities associated with the Gallery's research strand 'Buying, Collecting and Display'.
