Commodifying art, Chinese style: The making of China’s visual art market
本文运用波兰尼框架，从文化、资本和政治三重逻辑的互动中，解释中国艺术市场的空间与制度演变，揭示艺术商品化如何嵌入历史地理结构。
The economic value of art to cities and regions has recently been vigorously pursued and actively studied. The rapid ascendance of China as a superpower in the global art market and associated transformation of China’s art space, however, are yet poorly understood. This paper develops a Polanyian framework to interpret the spatial and institutional evolution of China’s art market, seeing the (de)commodification of art as a cumulative process embedded in geo-historical interplays of triple logics—cultural, capital, and political, unfolding within, and reshaping in turn, historically inherited spatial structures.
