Historicizing Global Contemporary Art Markets: Trajectories, Infrastructures, and Regimes of Value, organised by ARTIS – Institute of Art History, School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, to be held in Lisbon on 10 November 2026.

The conference seeks to provide a historically grounded and critical examination of the transformations of global contemporary art markets from the late twentieth century to the present, with particular attention to the infrastructures through which art circulates and acquires cultural and economic value.

The Call for Papers is open until 31 July 2026. We welcome proposals from historical, transnational, comparative, archival, sociological, economic, digital and interdisciplinary perspectives. The conference language is English, and proposals must be submitted in English.
