The Golden Age of Glasgow’s Art Trade – A Long and Flourishing Tradition

For many commentators, historians and writers, it has been tempting for them

to repeat certain myths about Glasgow, when it comes to discussing art collectors

living in and around the city, or the suppliers of paintings, drawings and prints,

sculpture and other works of art.

 

Across this website, I have included, and will continue to include, a wide range of

contemporary evidence which provides some insight into the city’s flourishing art

market and trade.
