The Toulouse salons: a regional counterweight to the Parisian art scene? (1861–1939)
基于图卢兹沙龙的历史数据，分析法国外围地区一级艺术市场的运作，发现这些展览未能帮助本地艺术家摆脱巴黎的支配。
Abstract This paper analyses the functioning of the primary art market for living artists in the periphery of France, in a context where there was no secondary market nor intermediaries such as art dealers. It is based on a historical data set constituted manually, regarding the Toulouse Salons—the Union artistique de Toulouse (UAT) between 1861 and 1909, and the Société des Artistes méridionaux (SAM), between 1907 and 1939. These exhibitions, which were intended to give artists a regional alternative to the Parisian academic and dealer-critic systems, failed at emancipating the local artists from the domination of the capital.
