Ancient painting and calligraphy investment

First is the scarcity of resources, the market is less affected by the market. In recent years, ancient calligraphy and painting has been relatively stable trend of gradual increase. Historical value and artistic value are also important reasons why ancient calligraphy and painting are compelling.

The price potential of ancient painting and calligraphy is still far from being realized. Ancient painting and calligraphy is bound to appreciate, for the following reasons:

A unique historical value

The price of art is the specific embodiment of the economic value, and the economic value is determined by its historical value, artistic value, scientific and technological value and appreciation value. People collect artworks essentially in the collection of history, culture, technology, emotion and life. Ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy is the reflection of history, which is embedded in the historical deposition, cultural heritage, vicissitudes, sense of gravity and cultural and artistic diversity are not modern painting and calligraphy. If the surviving ancient paintings and calligraphy are sorted according to the age, it will undoubtedly show people in the field of visual art and Chinese art and Chinese history many happenings, the development of physical evidence, specific, vivid, graphic depiction of the Chinese nation from ancient times to the present day's long journey. This is the most valuable part of ancient painting and calligraphy.

Two, rich cultural connotation

In terms of time and remove the modern painting and calligraphy of more than 100 years, more than 2,000 years before the Qing dynasty for the survival of ancient painting and calligraphy. Han Jane's clumsy, Jin's charm, the richness of the Tang painting, Song painting fine, Ming and Qing painting and calligraphy one by one are competing to reflect, brought together into a glorious long scroll, on the category and the theory of the figure, birds and flowers, landscapes, realistic, realistic, courtyard painting and literati painting one by one are all competing with each other in the limelight. In terms of painters and calligraphers, whether it is "Huang Tsuen Fu Kwai", or "Xu Xi Ye Yi", whether it is Ma Yuan, Xia Gui's "remaining mountains and water", or Tang Yin, Zhang Hong's "the vividness of ink and wash", "the master of nature and the spirit of heaven and earth", as well as Bada's and Shitao's "white eyes toward the sky", "searching for all the strange peaks The masters and stars of the artworks fully reflect the characteristics of the times and their distinctive personal styles. Such a profound and colorful cultural connotation is second to none in the world.

Three, deep ink and brushwork

Chinese painting and calligraphy is the art of using ink and brush, commanding the art of the line. How the brush and ink skills, how the line rhythm, is the ability to fully express the thoughts and feelings of the calligrapher and the key to the success or failure of their works. Charm vivid, shed ink and brush no way to know carry on.

In the ancient painting and calligraphy throughout the survival of the period, "all things are inferior, only the book high" Confucianism has always occupied the mainstream of society. And "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting" has always been a knowledge of the necessary talents of educated people. Calligraphy and painting are not only "children's skills", but also the means to establish oneself and to become an official. Ink and brushwork became the lifelong pursuit of many people. Calligraphy includes Wang Xianzhi's "Ink Pond" and Huaisu's "Brush Mound"; painting includes Zhang Hong's "Pine Leaves Darken Village Paths, Rice Flowers Fragrant at the Wooden Door"; and Zheng Banqiao's "Forty years of painting bamboo branches, daytime writing night thoughts, redundant writing to stay thin, painting to the time of life is ripe" ...... so all these things, the ancients melt life in the ink and brush, the effort is not comparable to today's people.

Four, the scarcity of the number of survivors

China's history, although long, but due to the constant change of dynasties, the vicissitudes of life, natural and man-made disasters, coupled with foreign invasion and looting in recent centuries, the ancient paintings and calligraphy through trials and tribulations, a large number of damage and loss, preserved to date has been very scarce. Mr. XuBangDa "reordering the Qing dynasty palace old collection of painting and calligraphy record" *** collection of ancient painting and calligraphy 3540 pieces, only one-tenth of qi baishi's surviving paintings and calligraphy, together with Taiwan and other museums at home and abroad, the number of extremely limited. Folk collection in the book into the canon of painter and calligrapher's works, regardless of the big names or small names, but also mostly to a few, dozens of counting, which is often dozens of modern painters and calligraphers, hundreds or even tens of thousands of the amount of surviving, really can not be compared. "Rarity is expensive" law of trade at least in the current price of ancient paintings and calligraphy did not show, but this is exactly where its potential.

V. Comparison of prices with domestic contemporaneous "crafts"

In the classification of art history, a category of pure works of art, such as calligraphy and painting, which is a single piece of artwork created by the artist with the idea of skill, with uniqueness and non-replicability. In addition to reflecting the characteristics of the times, more prominent expression of their personal style, mainly for the free flow of the spirit of the mind, spiritual communication. The other category is handicrafts, such as ceramic miscellaneous pieces, it is often the collective creation of craftsmen, more reflective of the production capacity of the times and the level of science and technology, mostly for daily life. The value content of the two is obviously different.

Sixth, and foreign contemporaneous paintings price comparison

Chinese painting and calligraphy and Western painting price gap is well known. Chinese painting and calligraphy in the ancient painting and calligraphy, in comparison, the gap is even greater. A few days ago, the National Art Museum of China is exhibiting 51 pieces of French impressionist painters representative of Manet, Monet and others, said to be insured 5.8 billion yuan, the price of each piece of work is more than 100 million yuan. And its contemporaries of Chinese painting and calligraphy Zhao Zhiqian, Ren Bonian boutique, millions of dollars sold has been a high price. As for the international auction world on the western masterpieces tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars price has been commonplace. Western ancient da vinci, rubens, raphael and other people's works are worth a lot of money, of which da vinci only a foot square of "young girl side head" is estimated at up to 100 million pounds (about 1.356 billion yuan), the auction will be higher prices. And the same period of ancient China's Tang Yin, Qiu Ying, Shen Zhou, Zhang Hong, Xu Wei and other masters, the price of each painting is only 400-500 million yuan. East and West painting is comparable, there are indeed different points, but the price difference is so huge, can not help but sigh.

Seven, the ancient painting and calligraphy of the pseudo-fake problem is not enough to worry about

Currently is the painting and calligraphy art market is the most prosperous period ever, but also the most flourishing period of the proliferation of fakes. Painting and calligraphy imitations, since ancient times, but purely for the purpose of profit-making, without fear, fanfare forgery, should be today. This is undoubtedly the art market invisible killer and collection of tumor. Some people do not dare to collect ancient painting and calligraphy is due to the fear of forgery, because they will not identify forgery, that ancient painting and calligraphy is very mysterious. In fact, the ancient painting and calligraphy forgeries is summarized in the several, we can from the paper, ink, printing, framing, period characteristics and personal style of several aspects of the comprehensive identification. Contemporary painting and calligraphy forgery is a higher level of skill, the use of many scientific and technological means and modern technology. Some students and family members of famous artists forgeries, more difficult to identify. Because contemporaries forgeries, period characteristics, paper, ink, printing, framing, etc. have almost lost the reference significance, only personal style, ink and brush characteristics can be used as a basis, but to really grasp the characteristics of many famous artists, how easy! So from the point of view of forgery, the collection of contemporary calligraphy and painting is more dangerous than the ancient painting and calligraphy. Some people are afraid of the ancient painting and calligraphy of the identification of forgery, just did not study, lack of practical experience.

Eight, ancient painting and calligraphy without personal speculation

When art like stocks, real estate, as an investment, capital will be heavily invested. This is the power of the price continues to push up. But the profit-seeking nature of capital will also derive a variety of means, in order to obtain as high a return as possible in the short term. The current art market has been an open secret of the wind of speculation. Some contemporary painters and calligraphers, not in the learning, ink, cultivation, art on the effort, but the mentality of restlessness, emotional arrogance, the wind of speculation, to attract collectors eyeballs, some per square foot has reached tens of thousands of yuan price, but also induced people to continue to chase up. Collection, investment in such works, 10 years later what will happen, a hundred years later what will happen, the real vision of the collectors, investors will know. And those sunk in loneliness, has never been speculation and has the real value of ancient painting and calligraphy, will certainly be more and more people recognize, according to the value of the road back to climb. In fact, the art market without these sky-high prices of artwork in an endless stream, then the art market will lack of hot spots, bright spots, no hot spots will not have a climax. So the repeated rise in art transaction prices, bidding prices record highs make the market climax is also constantly rising.

Nine, collectors, investors will push up the maturity of ancient painting and calligraphy prices

In fact, regardless of the value of the artwork, its final price is determined by collectors and investors. Collectors and investors of calligraphy and painting works of art appreciation, observation and re-creation, must obtain spiritual pleasure. And the premise of this pleasure is to know and understand the work, is able to dialog and communication with the author, is able to cause **** in thought and feeling. Due to the distance of history and the difference of time, our understanding of Cham Dynasty painting and calligraphy is more difficult than contemporary painting and calligraphy. But with the accumulation of knowledge, experience, collector quality, the whole society civilization progress, this difficulty will be overcome. From the surface to the inside, from shallow to deep, from near to far the law of collection will play a role. More and more collectors and investors will recognize the value in ancient paintings and calligraphy. When people have the ability to identify the authenticity, distinguish between good and bad, can walk across time and space with the ancients, when people's material life after the satisfaction of more financial resources for spiritual enjoyment, Chinese ancient painting and calligraphy will become the first choice and the situation of demand exceeds supply.

Ten, the philosophical debate about Chinese painting and calligraphy collection and investment

Ancient painting and calligraphy artwork to the most intuitive way to show our yesterday, with the continuous, colorful scroll interpretation of the most primitive human philosophical propositions that is the most advanced, "Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?" of the most primitive and highest philosophical propositions of mankind, i.e. "Who am I? Ancient painting and calligraphy and the profound connotation of the spirit of building a magnificent cornerstone of the art hall, which is the modern painting and calligraphy artists feed the spring, the water of life. Qi Baishi said: I would like to do the wheel of the green vine, white sun under the door of the dog. Li Keran said: To fight in with the greatest effort, to fight out with the greatest effort. Today's real masters of painting and calligraphy are all into the ancient and the new, and all of them are following the past. Going back to the source, without the tradition of ancient Chinese painting and calligraphy, there is no contemporary calligraphy and painting art splendor. We can't forget our ancestors, and we can't be too generous with the present and too thin with the past.

There are two peaks in the world of painting and calligraphy. The eastern peak is marked by Chinese painting and calligraphy. And from the price system, but only for the West - a peak, only when the greatness of Chinese painting and calligraphy art is recognized by the world at the same time, it will become the price system with the Western painting on a par with the other - a peak. The peak of the reproduction depends on the heart, eye, financial strength of the yellow children, depends on the Chinese nation's revitalization of the rich and strong.

There are many collectors, connoisseurs and investors friends, often flirting together, often every odd theory found. Speaking of ancient painting and calligraphy collection, a friend said: "Today's painting and calligraphy collection is not only to follow the elegant or a symbol of wealth, it is also a symbol of knowledge, identity, status, but also to meet the material and spiritual double possession, so that the symbol of fame and fortune. Dalian Wanda Group and Guo Qingxiang, Nanjing Tiandi Group and Yang Huo, corporate stock king Liu Yiqian is not because of the collection of ancient paintings and calligraphy are widely known, because of the collection of ancient paintings and calligraphy and rich on the rich?" Speaking of the risk of investing in calligraphy and painting, a friend said: "Any investment is risky. The stock market has a trap, the stock will shrink; real estate will fold day, 70 years after the asset tends to zero. Fine antique paintings and calligraphy, however, is good for storage, carrying, but also can continue to appreciate in value. If war, plague and social unrest do occur, will anyone still buy your house? Can you still take out your bank deposits? Is there any use in taking it out? When there is no guarantee of life, nothing can be said." This two gentleman is undoubtedly the collection of ancient paintings and calligraphy, investment in the wise, but also must be the value of ancient paintings and calligraphy, the price of the return of hope.
