Reviews

"Dossin has provided a useful paradigm through which to view the recent history of Western art and art markets, one that challenges the conventional and limited narrative found in most art history textbooks.... Dossin has provided a compelling framework to help us track the geopolitics of the contemporary art world." - American Historical Review
