Art collection is lighter than its "title"

In the specific collection process, many people repeatedly made mistakes, not only did not enjoy the fun of the collection, but also swallowed the bitter fruit of brewing because of mistakes to buy the collection. In this regard, the famous collector Guo Qingxiang warned collectors: The most important thing in the collection of works of art is the quality of the art itself. Many people now buy artworks, like to read “titles” of painters and painters, and are keen to buy the works of calligraphers’ associations, artists’ associations, vice presidents, and painting and calligraphy academies, regardless of whether the works themselves stand. Stay foot. As a result, the prices of the works of some associations, such as the “**”, the “vice vice”, and the president of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, once fell off, trapped the collectors.

"We will not touch the works of certain book associations, the United States, the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and the president of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy."

Guo Qingxiang said, “We will not touch the works of certain book associations, artists’ associations, and presidents of the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting. Our collection of works mainly depends on whether the artist’s work can stand the test itself. We don't have titles; we will buy; works will be closed, titles will be much bigger, and we won't get rid of them. "Now some artists will add "red robes" to them (referring to the association of books, the United States, vice presidents, calligraphy and painting). President of the Institute), the price of the work immediately doubled, but also became a "social activist", taking the "red box" entertainment everywhere, where to have time to study, pondering art? They did not play a role in leading and promoting artistic exploration and development. Of course, not all calligraphers, artists' associations, vice presidents, and presidents of the painting and calligraphy academy are misnamed, but they also have to admit that there are a considerable number of so-called "**", "deputy **", and "hospital." "Long" is not flattering in art.

However, there is a very worrying phenomenon in the current art market, that is, many collectors’ eyes are only staring at the so-called works of the “**”, “deputy” and “dean”, regardless of the actual The art level. What the collector bought is not the work but "title." Of course, careful analysis shows that some of these collectors are indeed beginning to do this, do not understand, only look at the artist's false name; some do not understand, he bought the artist's "title" because he bought these people's The work is mainly for gifts, but it requires a large title and many titles. When it is sent out, it has a face and a good job. What's more, most of the recipients are also laymen. The figure is also the author's name. Therefore, the strange things that deviate from the intrinsic value of the prices of Chinese collectors' works are formed.

Some famous "replicas" are actually high-end gifts

According to Guo Qingxiang, he collected a group of works by a famous artist in the early years. "That was a matter for 1994. A friend of mine found me and hoped that I would buy 200 of his works. At that time, the painter bought a property abroad and had difficulty repaying money, hoping to sell off some of the paintings to pay back the money. It was 4,000 yuan per square foot, not so outrageous. I immediately hit more than 2 million in the past. Soon I got the first batch of paintings and began to look at them. The subject matter is very similar to the technique. It is like a model carved out. In Ren Bonian’s life, flowers and birds were Li Zhan’s, and they were all together as their own. Before the second delivery, I ran to his studio to see what was going on. Surprisingly, he would make ten Xuan Zhang’s papers. Hang on the wall and paint with flowing water.What do you guess? On each piece of paper, first draw the human head, add the clothes, and finally make up for it. Finally, it is stamped by his students. Which is painting? Obviously it is drawing a picture! So I think that this person's work is not worth collecting, he is not sincere about art, he is not responsible to society. He has been repeating himself for many years, and there is no innovation. Later, these paintings are I was thrown or gave away. Even though now The painter had a very beautiful scenery, he went to the TV to study Chinese culture, wrote an article to raise his reputation, and the price of the painting was staggering. However, I didn’t regret it at all. To put it bluntly, the artist’s work was a high-end gift painting. From a longer-term perspective, such works cannot stand the test of time and have no true artistic value. I think that the painter’s high-end gifts and paintings with similarities and no artistic personality are worth only a few hundred yuan at most. However, in fact, it is now tens of thousands of yuan and one million yuan. This is both an insult to art and unfair to collectors, hurting collectors' hearts."

Some calligraphers have been repeating themselves for decades, which is in disguise "printing" their own works. Now that many collectors have matured, their understanding of painters becomes clearer. For example: the same number of painters, painters of the picture, the price will not go up. Some painters set their own prices at home, regardless of market prices. This year's 30,000 square feet, next year's 50,000 square feet, will rise to 80,000 square feet in the next year. Such painters are not investigating art, but they spend a lot of energy to operate the market. Such artists' works are not worth collecting at all. Collection works should be based on the art value of the work itself to determine the level of price. True collectors should not collect stereotyped works.
