| Popis: | A superficial view of the relations between economists and art historians reveals very little. Art history is not taught in the economics curriculum, and economics is not taught to students of art history. Economists consider art history as descriptive. The two landmarks of art history and economics, Johann J. Winckelmann's Geschichte der Kunst des Altertums and Adam Smith's An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations are almost contemporaneous. Most economists argue for supplying more art, but little is known about whether this support also enhances the quality supplied: Does greater support coincide with 'better' art? This chapter discusses a non-exhaustive list of the most important economic rationalizations for such support. Artworks are, with some exceptions, heterogeneous. Each creation is unique and markets can hardly be analysed by the standard supply demand mechanism. Keywords:art history; economics |
