Bloomsbury Art Markets (BAM) is the first comprehensive scholarly guide to art galleries, auction houses, art fairs, and agents from multiple national and historical contexts.
Several highly distinguished partner institutions and more than five hundred specialized authors have joined us to establish a comprehensive map of the art trade.
Comprising 4000 entries—covering Europe (incl. Russia) and North America in the 20th and 21st centuries—BAM is published as a digital reference work by Bloomsbury Plc. BAM was launched with 2300 entries in March 2023. A batch of 1000 additional titles was made available in March 2024.
