Sažetak
This paper investigates ways of which quantitative network analysis can contribute to a critical theory-informed glob¬al art history of contemporary art and artistic production. Critical, global and digital approaches came together in the art historical discourse of recent years to discuss art and artistic production in prior forms of globality. Yet, there remains a question of how these approaches can join forces to investigate art that is produced in the current phase of globalization in an art field that is, according to sociological understanding, characteristically global in structure and functioning. The paper considers this ques¬tion by discussing three recent research projects. The results show that, when integrated into a more complex methodology, network analysis enables researchers to grasp the specificities of art market functioning, collec¬tion-building practices and the transformation of a local art scene in the contemporary global art field. Further¬more, the way network analysis is currently applied in dig¬ital art historical research gears the discourse towards a more holistic and theoretically more embedded direction. However, while it focuses solely on institutional questions, it also leaves works of art and aesthetic matters aside.
