Chinese calligraphy and painting is awesome

Paintings and paintings are the most concerned and most involved sectors in the market. In 2010, Chinese painting and calligraphy still held up half the sky of the art market and showed an expanding trend.

The price of ancient calligraphy and painting climbed steadily

Ancient paintings and calligraphy are the most popular in the past two years. Originally thought that only the hedging function, the lack of value-added features of the ancient calligraphy and painting in 2010 is still imposing, and constantly highlight the money-making effect.

The auction companies have launched special exhibitions of ancient paintings and calligraphy, and also focused on ancient paintings and calligraphy. In Autumn, China's Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the ink paintings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Weng’s Tibetan paintings, and the ancient Chinese paintings, three special events, 14 items with a price of RMB 10 million, and a transaction volume of RMB 1.15 billion; two special sessions in ancient calligraphy and ancient paintings in Beijing’s Shushi.

In the Jin Dynasty, Wang Shuzhi's cursive script, "The Peaceful Posture" was written by Yu Chen, the Ming Dynasty Chen Yun's "Sentimental Ink Flower", the Southern Song Dynasty "Han Gong Qiu Tu", and the Qing Dynasty Zhu Xi "Bamboo Stone Monk" reached the 100 million yuan club. Tang Yi, "Yino Pavilion, Ruitu", Zhu Xi, "Bamboo Stones," Wang Xi, "Xiangshan Fragrant Hills", Zou Yigui, "Bamboo Stone Blossoms", You Qiu, "Autumn Window Game Map", Song Yujin, "The Family Tree", Wu Xinlai “Hundred Mountain Views of Huangshan”, Feng Ning’s “Pavilion for Peace”, and Lu Shen’s “White Peggy Book” break the auction record of the artist’s personal work.

It is worth noting that calligraphy performed well. China's Song of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in China's Song and Ming dynasties had a total turnover of 194 million yuan, and the turnover rate was 80.77%. The ancient calligraphy market in Beijing was 159 million yuan with a turnover rate of 95.65%.

Laymen and acquaintances, excitement and doorway are long-term topics for art appreciation. According to Ms. Yang Danxia, ​​an expert in the famous painting and calligraphy appraisal, Qiu Pai's paintings and paintings are said to be exquisite, but remarkable and rare masterpieces are rare.

The cursive script of Wang Jinzhi’s cursive “Peaceful Post” in the Jin Dynasty was aroused heated discussion after the filming. In this regard, Ms. Yang Danxia said that "Safety Friendship" is Song Yuben, "Wen Zheng is particularly good."

In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu's "Luo Shenfu" album "is a controversial Zhao masterpiece." The brushwork is skillful, and it is smooth and peaceful.

Wen Zhengming, the second king of calligraphy, was recorded in the book "Xiyuan poems" in the early edition of "Shiqu Baodi" (16 pages and opened on page 31). Represents WEN's style of writing."

Ni Kuang’s works have always been difficult to find, even though his hometown Wuxi Museum also only contains one piece of “Feng Xie Tree Map” purchased from the Yangzhou cultural relics store, which is “the treasure of the town hall”. "Linlin Yushi" painted streams, embankments, miscellaneous trees, wide artistic conception, paintings, characters are Ni for the top grade, and there are threads, description and informative. The price of 43.68 million yuan in the eyes of Ms. Yang Danxia is good value for money. “It's cheaper than the Ming and Qing paintings and paintings that cost billions of dollars. The buyer is no doubt the person who knows the goods.” This also highlights the lack of professional talents in the market for painting and calligraphy. reality.

Zhou Zhixuan, who was active in the Jiajing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty, was an open-minded person of the “hedge flower school” and parelled with the artists of the Ming Dynasty such as Lu Ji, Chen Yu, and Xu Wei, and influenced the “four evils” in the early Qing Dynasty, the eight strangeness in Yangzhou, and the Qi Baishi and other paintings and paintings. The 17-meter-long “Flowers of Hundred Flowers” ​​is recorded in “The Early Book of Shiqu Bao Dai” and depicts orchids, plum blossoms, magnolia flowers, peach blossoms, pear blossoms, magnolia flowers, hydrangea, chrysanthemums, lotuses, daffodils, peony, Ganoderma lucidum, Chinese rose, etc. The seventy-five broken flowers represent the highest level of Zhou's paintings. Compared to the multi-volume “Hundred Flowers” ​​hidden in the Palace Museum of Beijing, the Shanghai Museum and the Hebei Provincial Museum, this “Flowers of Flowers” ​​picture is the longest work in the scroll handed down by Zhou Shi. The price of 90.72 million yuan is "comparable to other works listed in the "Shiqu Baodi", and it can be said to have been bought cheaply."

Zhu Ming’s remnant Zhu Xi has an unshakable position in the history of Chinese painting. “Orphaned Poultry” is a classic interpretation of his painting art, and is also a good Bada Shanren works in this season’s auction: one bird, one foot standing, no Without falling, ethereal. Solitary birds "white-eyed to people", in order to show aloof, cynical character.

Imperial emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were favored by the market in recent years. Many of the so-called emperors' pens are actually made by the ghostwriters, and the ancient imperial edicts of the Emperor of Emperor Qianlong are ancient, and reflect the daily affairs of government and life. The “Apricot Flower Picture” of Beijing Poly Auctions with an effect of 23.52 million yuan is a hand-made work of King Qianlong on the scene. “The collection of Yu Pen works should be hand-written.” Ms. Yang Danxia suggested.

Modern art continues to rise

Ancient calligraphy and painting give power, and modern calligraphy and painting are more forceful.

Modern paintings and calligraphy are the main body of calligraphy and painting collections, and they are also the focus of auction companies.

In the autumn of 2010, China’s Guardian launched nine modern painting and calligraphy special events with a turnover of 1.699 billion yuan, an average turnover rate of nearly 93%, and 25 works worth RMB 10 million. Beijing Poly has 7 modern paintings and special events with a turnover of 2.01 billion yuan and 42 pieces of tens of millions of works. Beijing Hanhai 3 modern paintings and special events, turnover of 471 million yuan. In Beijing, there were 5 special events with a turnover rate of 94.8% and a turnover of nearly 470 million yuan.

Under the guidance of ancient paintings and calligraphy, the modern painting and calligraphy section continues to heat up. According to data from Yachang Art Network, of the top 30 auctions of Qi Pingshi, Zhang Daqian, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, and Li Keran, among the top 30 artist auctions, more than half of the works were sold in 2010, and many more were sold in autumn.

The "Palestinian Chart of Drowning Water" is an artistic treasure that truly records the hard work of the Chongqing people. It is hailed as one of the four major works of Mr. Xu Beihong's most people-oriented and contemporary spirit. Ms. Yang Danxia believes that the "Palestinian Drowning Map" is a good thing that can be met by people who are collecting modern paintings and calligraphy. “The position in the history of Chinese art is much higher than that of the “Pity, Silent,” album. The “Siren Silent” album represents Qi Baishi's pen and mouse weeds, and it more reflects the technical work that is extremely clever. The “Ba People’s Water Map” uses the combination of Chinese and Western art. The creative techniques are the perfect combination of realism and romanticism, with historical values, artistic values ​​and humanistic care, as well as the monuments of modern Chinese painting. There are no more than Xu Beihong's collections and market circulation products including “Yugong Yishan”. "The Ba People's Water Chart" is also a rare system of radian in the past ten years."

The horse written by Xu Beihong is a frequent visitor to the auction, and “White Horse Map” is the best horse that can be seen at present.” Ms. Yang Danxia said, “Compared with other horses, this horse gives people the feeling that they can jump out. The biggest winner in this season is the person who purchased the "Palestinian Charts" and "White Horse Map." "Bai Ma Tu" was Xu Beihong, who was the first dean of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and was presented to the first director of the Chinese Painting Department, Ye Qianyu. Mr. Ye likes it very much, has been hanging in the studio, and has repeatedly mentioned in the article. Xikai Yinshe Auctioned Eight-Qi Qi Baishi “Flowers, Birds, and Birds” album is also a book given by Ye Qianyu, Sikai Painting Aquarium, four painted insect birds (avian), Aquarium fish, shrimp, crab, frog, worm bird (avian ) There are rats, chickens, cockroaches, and starlings. The subject matter, composition, and agency are not repeated. "This is a masterpiece of Qi Baishi's freehand brushwork. It contains various themes of Qiyi's ink painting, which is comparable to the "Pity and Silence" album."

Contemporary paintings are tepid

Compared with the ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, modern paintings and calligraphy, the contemporary painting market is tepid. This is related to the degree of attention of the capital.

Focusing on business development, contemporary painting is a permanent item for auction companies. For large auction companies, contemporary painting and calligraphy income is less than 5%. Therefore, in addition to China's Guardian and Beijing Poly in the autumn auction launched a special exhibition of contemporary painting, other companies will be incorporated into the operation of modern painting and calligraphy.

Some famous masterpieces set a record. Wang Xijing's "Jade House Spring Drunk Figure" was sold for 8.96 million yuan in Beijing Hanhai in 2010. Fan Zeng made a sale of 16.58 million yuan in "The Seven Diagrams of Bamboo Grove" in 1988. He Jiaying "The Silent Night" was in Tianjin. Dingtian was sold for 8.91 million yuan. More frontline contemporary painter works did not create new heights.

China's contemporary painting and calligraphy of Jiade performed well, and there were 139 works in contemporary Chinese painting and calligraphy and “poetry-painting speech - Fan Zeng paintings”. The average turnover rate was 88.48%, and the turnover was 141 million yuan. After strict selection of famous masterpieces are hotly sought after, many works are sold at valuation multiples. "Poetry and Painting Chapter - Fan Zeng Painting and Calligraphy" was the prosperous year system of its 1990s, and it was the first collective appearance, 100% closed, leading the contemporary calligraphy and painting sector as a whole. In 2006, Han Meilin’s huge “Hengyun Tengxiang” (345 × 145 cm) was created, which reflected the power of his brushwork and styling and sold for 8.512 million yuan. Song Yugui made a record of RMB 6.16 million for "Mountain Soul Map" in 2000. Wang Mingming made a 2.8 million yuan in 2009 for "Like Song of Li".

There were 209 lots of contemporary Chinese ink paintings in Beijing Poly. The turnover rate was 89%, with a turnover of 81,399,400 yuan.

Letters are also crazy

The letters that started the market last year performed well. The price of letters worth tens of thousands of yuan two or three years ago soared to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. To date, more than 70% of the million-dollar works have been produced in 2010.

Of course, strictly speaking, Wang Shuzhi's cursive script "Peaceful Postscript" and Zeng Gong's "Department Posts" are all letters of faith.

On November 21st, the “Mings of the Ming dynasty book” was traded at 35,280,000 yuan in China’s Guardian, which refreshed the record of the ancient letter auction of China’s Guardian’s 9.9 million yuan in “Qian Jingtang’s Ming Dynasty Celebrity Book” in autumn 2002. However, the record only lasted for two weeks. The Northern Song Dynasty Zeng Jun’s “Chu Shu and Yun Zhi Zhi County Seven Brothers” was sold in Beijing Poly at a price of RMB 45.92 million.

The modern and contemporary letters did not break the previous year's record of 5.544 million yuan created by China’s Guardian “Chen Duxiu and others caused by Hu Shihsin”, but in the top 100 transaction prices, the 2010 deal occupies an absolute dominant position. The letter of Qiu Yinshe’s autumn shoots was even more exclusive in the top 10 seats, and Dong Biwu, Peng Zhen, Song Renqiu, etc. contributed to Wei Wenbo's letter (opened on October 11th) at a price of 2.8 million yuan, and Kang Sheng and Cao Yu’ou contributed to Wei Wenbo’s letter (10).
