Features: "China Oil Painting Auction Intelligence" series, which includes 248 active Chinese contemporary and modern oil painters in the oil painting market in recent years, covering thousands of auctioned works. Arranged in chronological order of the artists' lifetimes, the series is compiled into a set of 6 volumes. Compared to similar books on the market, this series has its own format and characteristics. First, it targets the frontline oil painting market, directly selecting auction information from the long-term sales records of dozens of auction houses across the country that is meaningful to investors. This helps investors understand the basic development trajectory and current collection status of the Chinese oil painting market and anticipate future trends. Second, the series is rich in content, featuring biographies of each oil painter and introductions to their artistic styles. The selected artworks include images, creation dates, materials, dimensions, estimated prices, hammer prices, artist signatures, auction houses, and auction dates—essential auction information for collectors. The series strives for comprehensive, detailed, and visual information, making it highly practical for reference.
"The prosperity of times fosters collecting, while chaos places gold." Since the 1990s, the art auction industry has rapidly risen in the Chinese market. Art collection has expanded from primarily state cultural and institutions to a broader segment of society. Particularly in economically developed regions, art investment has become a "second investment" for many private entrepreneurs. However, driven by economic interests, counterfeit and imitation works have proliferated. For collectors and buyers, selecting valuable artworks from a vast and mixed pool of oil paintings and ensuring that the prices align with their true value is a challenging task. This series is like "snow in the desert."
Considering economic and market factors, sales are expected to perform better in coastal, economically developed regions with higher marketization levels of auctioned works. Key distribution should focus on art bookstores, collection bookstores, and some galleries and auction houses. The companion series "China Calligraphy and Painting Auction Intelligence" is also recommended.
