🧵Tom McNulty #ArtMarket Research (2014 2ndEd) is a good bibliography to start with, with chapter 8 on the sources for historic markets. For the #18C, the most recent is @GettyMuseum London and the Emergence of a European Art Market (2019)

For European markets, mining Titia Hulst's A History of the Western #ArtMarket @ucpress is a must. It covers Italian city states, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Germany and Spain, London and Paris for the #18C
Most art market studies are done on a national level (viz, eco and law histories often are) Let me however bring your attention to the groundbreaking @DriesLyna and Jan Dirk Baetans Art Crossing Borders @brill 2019
For non eurocentric region level #18c histories, see for example on the Americas works by Sandra Van Ginhoven; for Africa, Felicity Boldenstein, for Japan Akiko Takesue... the Journal for art market studies and the @ArtMarketStuds can lead you to more. DM me for specific search!
and yes, I know these don't quite fit in #18c, but that's because 18c is very much a #eurocentric concept.
Should have made that a reply and not quote retweet @jamesmarrone !
