Investment in Painting and Calligraphy: Astronomical Prices and Streaming Films Coexist

One of the most interesting phenomena in paintings and paintings that once brilliantly reappeared to look at hundreds of millions of yuan of transactions on this year’s auction market is that they used to be all-powerful auction items in the auction market. Like Beijing Hanhaizhong, Fu Baoshi's “Mao ** poetry book” produced 230 million yuan. This eight-page album was drawn between 1964 and 1965. It was the last spring of Fu Baoshi’s life. Mao Shi’s Poetry Book is also an art. The final masterpiece of his career. His works are extremely skillful in painting techniques, extremely vivid in painting style, bold and varied in composition, magnificent and Shen Yi's colors, and full of romantic poetic paintings, becoming a famous piece in the history of Chinese modern painting. The last time it appeared in the auction market was at the 2003 Sino-Singapore autumn art auction o private collection of modern Chinese painting and calligraphy, when the transaction price reached 19.8 million yuan. It became a hot news on the auction market at that time.

In China’s Guardian (“Weibo”) “Grand View – Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Night” special modern paintings, 38 modern paintings and calligraphy works were traded 28 pieces, harvesting 764 million yuan. Qi Baishi's boutique "Landscape Book" won the prize with 194 million yuan. Qi Baishi made it in the Autumn of 1931, which was written by the author, Wen Susong, who is a famous collector and appreciator of the “Book of Mountains and Waters”. He opened it for a total of 12 to 34.5 centimeters by 35 centimeters. This album autumn auction in 1994 to 5.17 million yuan in the price of the creation of Jiade beat the highest record of Chinese calligraphy.

These million-dollar paintings and calligraphy are no doubt reminding the majority of the painting and calligraphy investors that they should pay attention to auctions that have performed well in the past. Like in the autumn of Beijing this year (Weibo), the Qigong calligraphy system, "Culture, Minhang" is undoubtedly worth focusing on. Mr. Qi Gong had written a 19-meter-long calligraphy scroll in accordance with the famous copywriter Wang Boxiang's copy of the old China Shenzhou Guoguang agency, Dong Qichang's cursive script. This hand roll is the longest hand-rolled Mr. Qi Gong in the current market, and it was sold for 3.92 million yuan in the autumn of 2009. In order to commemorate the 110th anniversary of General Zhang Xueliang’s birth, “Dingyuan legacy”—all of the auctions of Zhang Xueliang’s ancient paintings and calligraphy collections—have been shot by Ding Yuanzhai from the time of Sotheby’s (Weibo’s). The masterpieces of famous masters such as Yi, Wang Yuanyu, Wang Xiaoxiang, Song Yijin, Wang Yudeng, and others, also have wonderful works by Qian Xi, Zhang Ling, and others. One of the most noticeable ones is Qian Wei's Zhong Kui's Moving House Map.

The rare treasures were favored in Han Haiqiu's autumn auction. Wu Hufan's “Fuchun Mountain Map” was sold for 98.9 million yuan, creating Wu Hufan’s personal auction record. Its 36 million yuan auction began, after field collectors and off-site commissioned nearly 30 rounds of fierce competition, and ultimately commissioned by the off-site commission to 86 million yuan (dumped) to win, plus commission turnover of 98.9 million yuan. This auction not only broke the personal auction record of Wu Hufan, but also was the master of the second high-priced work of Shanghai School.

Although in this year's auction market, some auction houses have launched the hand-rolled “Lin Huang Gong Wang Fu Fu Chun Shan Ju Tu Volume” created by Wu Hufan in 1925, but the transaction price was only 1.725 million yuan, but compared with this auction, it still has a very The big gap, especially in the hand-roll of the auction, was the stamp of one “big fan of Fushan Mountain Figure”, after he used bronze ware traders to obtain the residual volume of the “mountain map”, and then His home was called "the man of the Big Divided Spring Hill Figure" and was deliberately carved. Won on the hand roll of this auction, it undoubtedly shows its love for this hand roll.

Compared with this piece of Wu Hufan's work, Yuan Ren’s calligraphy calligraphy scroll “Rui He Shi”, which is about to appear in Qiu Shiqiu’s autumn collection, brings together the famous scholars of the Yuan Dynasty, including Yu Fu’s, Jia Zhi’s, Zhang Yi, Yu Yinglong, Fang Hui, Du Daojian, and others. Shubao is not only an important historical document and literary history document, but also a landmark classic system in the history of Chinese calligraphy.

"Ruihe poetry" hand-rolled up to 8 meters, is a grand view, so handed down a giant system is very rare. Throughout the article is divided into two parts of the preface and poetry, the order is the general theory, described the reason for the Rui He poetry, the poem is a seven-character sentence, narrative details, catchy. He wrote poems for the Yuan Dynasty's well-known literary minister, Feng Yuancheng, and praised the great Taoist guru Zhang Liusun for praying for the life. All the singers and literary celebrities are also well-known poets and poets of the Yuan Dynasty. The content of the poems in the hand scroll that has never existed in the handwriting will undoubtedly add to the history of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, the manuscript in the handwritten book infiltrated the seal body, and then added the silkworm head to the end of the book in a regular script, revealing a deep sense of ancientness. This fully reflects the retro tendencies and achievements on the altar of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is a precious physical material for future generations to study Lishu.

With the increasingly active auction market in recent years, a growing number of celebrities and treasures in the Song and Yuan Dynasties have appeared on the auction market. Like this autumn auction, China’s Guardian will launch a special auction of Song and Yuan Dynasty ink, except for Like Zhao Mengfu and Ni Kui, who are recognized as calligraphers, like Zhang Yu is a famous Taoist priest in the Yuan Dynasty, Zong Ze was a famous song dynasty, and many people left only one name in history, but because their penmanship reflects The historical facts of that period, combined with the passing of many famous collectors, such as Liu Jiyi's "Study to the Bachelor of Scholars" book was once the writer of the Ming Dynasty, the historian Wang Shizhen, and the expert in the identification of ancient paintings and calligraphy Zhang Qian, and the famous collector Zhang Wenkui. As a result, even if Liu Jiyi's birth, death, and behavior were unknown, the final transaction price reached 5.175 million yuan.

The academic value must be paid attention to. In the autumn auction this year, there is a phenomenon that deserves attention. That is, a large number of contemporary art works that have been sought after have been rushed, but in comparison, these contemporary artists are also some of their early works, especially Some academically successful paintings have created astronomical prices. One of the most typical examples is the China Guardian “Painting Special” held at the Beijing International Hotel Convention Center. Zhou Chunya's masterpiece of the Tibet series “Shearing” was started. It started with 15 million yuan, and the site directly called 20 million yuan, after several rounds of bidding. In the end, it was 26.5 million yuan, and the commission amounted to 30.475 million yuan, refreshing Zhou Chunya's new auction record.

The style of this work is very different from Zhou Chunya's other works, especially in academics, which occupy a very important position. “Shearing Wool” participated in the Chinese Contemporary Oil Painting Exhibition held in New York City in 1987, because the cover of the album was written by Mr. Wu Zuoren, and the Chinese art community also called it the New York Dragon Exhibition. Participating in this exhibition were the most representative masterpieces in China at the time, such as Luo Zhongli's "Father" and "Spring Silkworm", Chen Yifei's "Liaobu", Wu Guanzhong's "Jiangnan Town" and so on. In fact, this was the first time that Chinese oil painters had made their voices collectively in the United States. The exhibition caused great repercussions at the time. In 1991, this “Shearing” was bought by a Chengdu collector at the price of RMB 10,000, but the collector did not switch to 20,000 RMB for a Chinese Taiwanese collector. The Taiwanese collector firmly held onto this work. It was not auctioned out until 20 years later, from 20,000 yuan to more than 30 million yuan, more than 1,500 times. This time, the artist purchased this work. It is a collection of big-name couples Liu Yiqian and Wang Wei.

In the autumn auction in Beijing this year, the award-winning works of the “Guangzhou First Art Biennale of the 1990s” will debut in the oil painting and sculpture exhibition, including Shu Qun’s “Same-sex Voice Religion Discourse Order” (one of triplets). “Yong Yongqing” with the award for excellence, “Big Poster for China Edition and Foreign Edition (Secondary)”, and Li Bangyao “Product Trust” for the Outstanding Award. It is reported that many prize-winning works at that time were not collected after being collected by private organizations. At the time of the exhibition, 3 of them were photographed for the first time after the Biennale. The first Guangzhou Art Biennale in 1992 was the first large-scale biennial exhibition practice in the Chinese art world, with far-reaching implications. First, it established the criteria for judging the local value of Chinese contemporary art. Second, it won the international reputation for Chinese contemporary art and established market standards. The award-winning works in this exhibition are academic, artistic and historic. In recent years, the art market has been greatly favored by important collectors and collectors.
