Collecting and Display (collectinganddisplay.com) is the name of a working group founded by the three editors of this volume in 2004. The group has been running a research seminar at the Institute of Historical Research (University of London) since 2005, in Florence since 2008 and has organised international summer conferences from 2006 onwards. The three editors teach at university programmes in the UK, France and Italy and are widely published on the subject of the history of collecting, the display of collections and the art market, including the first three volumes of the present series, Collecting and Dynastic Ambition (2009), Collecting and the Princely Apartment (2011) and Women Patrons and Collectors (2012).
