The Art Fair as Network
TLDR
In this paper, the authors aim to advance the idea of the network and the art fair with regard to art fair boom, the differentiation of art fairs and their interlinking.Abstract:
Although Howard Becker defines art worlds as networks of cooperating people and a broad range of studies has applied this idea of the network to art markets, research on fairs remains a neglected issue. This article aims to advance the idea of the network and the art fair with regard to the art fair boom, the differentiation of art fairs and their interlinking, and the role of networks with regard to the participating galleries and their interlinking within art fairs. Quantitative and qualitative data are brought forward to shed some light on these issues, including statistical information, along with interviews.read more

Diversity and (In)equality in the Global Art World: Global Development and Structure of Field-Configuring Events
TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a contribution to the globalisation of the arts, but from a sociological and quantitative perspective, based on a large-scale quantitative survey, they find tendencies to homogenisation and heterogenisation existing at the same time or that the locality of these events acts as a source of uniqueness and innovativeness.

Collective dynamics of small-world networks
TL;DR: Simple models of networks that can be tuned through this middle ground: regular networks ‘rewired’ to introduce increasing amounts of disorder are explored, finding that these systems can be highly clustered, like regular lattices, yet have small characteristic path lengths, like random graphs.
