Art, Money, Parties is a collection of essays based on papers given at a conference of the same name held at Tate Liverpool in November 2002. It sets out to describe and evaluate the development of new forms of art patronage and display evident in such recurrent events as biennials, ‘cultural quarter’ projects for urban regeneration, novel galleries of contemporary art, and production sponsors (such as the Saatchi Gallery and the Baltic). The scope of the collection is international and its aim is to map and examine the globalisation of art’s political-economy. Contributors: Jeremy Valentine (Queen Elizabeth College, Edinburgh), Andrew Brighton (Tate Modern), Sadie Coles (Gallery owner), Rory Francis (Manchester Metropolitan University), Paul Usherwood (University of Northumbria), Stewart Home (artist and writer), Lewis Biggs (ex-Director, Tate Liverpool), and Jonathan Harris (University of Liverpool).
Jonathan Harris is Reader in Art History at the University of Liverpool and Director of the University's M.A. degree course Visual Art in the City. Dr Harris has always been active in the professional Association of Art Historians in Britain, organising its national conferences in Leeds in 1992 and in Liverpool in 2002. His published and television work for the Open University arts course Modern Art: Practices and Debates' is well-known now through the world, particularly in the US, and the course books have also been translated recently into Portuguese and Spanish. Dr Harris has lectured and published widely on American art in the twentieth century, state subvention of the visual arts, the development of Cultural Studies in Britain, the rise of the New Art History' and the relations between art history and social theory. His most recent book is The New Art History: A Critical Introduction (Routledge, 2001).
