Features: This set of twenty volumes of "China Fine Art and Calligraphy Auction Intelligence" and five volumes of "Ancient Fine Books Auction Intelligence" includes nearly a thousand renowned Chinese fine art and calligraphy masters, several million domestic auction information, and more than thirty well-known domestic and international auction houses. It comprehensively showcases the ups and downs and dramatic changes in the Chinese fine art and calligraphy auction market over the past two decades, with a particular focus on the market hotspots formed by fine art and ancient fine books from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The entire series uses rich and detailed content to help collectors and investors gain a comprehensive understanding of the fine art and calligraphy auction market, providing art enthusiasts with complete information for appreciating fine art, and highlighting the significant appreciation potential in art investment. Some calligraphers and painters also have their seals and inscriptions listed separately. Among the existing books on calligraphers' and painters' seals and inscriptions, there is a tendency to focus on ancient masters, with a notable lack of coverage of modern and contemporary masters. This series fills this gap by including such content, making a valuable contribution to completing the record. The content of the series strives for comprehensiveness, accuracy, and vividness, making it highly practical. This series is primarily a reference book for providing information and data. Most of the image materials are sourced from the annual catalogs of various auction houses. However, we are neither able to nor willing to undertake the task of identifying the authenticity of the selected works. We hope readers can compare and analyze the content during their reading, which may help in enhancing their appreciation skills.
