Ancient calligraphy and painting have become extinct. Why are contemporary paintings and calligraphy more advantageous than ancient paintings and calligraphy collections?

First of all, on the one hand, the current works have more collection advantages because it is easier to distinguish the authenticity of the works. We all know that ancient painters' paintings and calligraphy works are excellent, and it is difficult to distinguish them after a long time. For ordinary people, it is really impossible to see the truth. Compared with today's painters, many of them still have certain collection value, and the painting production time is relatively short, so it is easier to distinguish between true and false than in ancient times. This is a great advantage of modern painting compared with ancient painting. This way, the risk of investment can be relatively small.

On the other hand, it has great potential, because with the constant change of people's aesthetic standards, it is very likely that the potential of some ancient paintings has reached a peak and there is no potential for progress. The difference is that the paintings drawn by modern painters are more in line with the appetite of modern people. Nowadays, painters like to pursue innovation and style breakthrough. Therefore, compared with ancient paintings, modern paintings have more potential and are more meaningful for future collection.

Moreover, compared with ancient paintings, the current paintings are relatively simple to start with. For ancient paintings, most of them may have been collected by others. If you want to get them again, the easiest way is to auction them from the auction, but the price of getting them at the auction is very high. Modern painting is different. Modern paintings are relatively easy to get, and they will become more and more valuable if they are bought and circulated for a long time.

So to sum up the above three points, many people think that collecting modern paintings is more advantageous than collecting ancient paintings, but from the overall value of today, ancient paintings and calligraphy works are more valuable. If we have the ability to collect an ancient painting and calligraphy, we should get started as quickly as possible, because good things are fleeting.
