Scholarship on the domestic art market has generally addressed questions of supply and the role of cultural intermediaries. By contrast, this study of blockbuster auction sales in Victorian America demonstrates that newly ascendant entrepreneurial elites drove changes in the art trade and further suggests that how collectors acquired artworks is just as critical to understanding consumer preferences and the shape and evolution of markets as what they acquired.
