Features: "China Oil Painting Auction Intelligence" series, which includes 248 active Chinese contemporary and modern oil painting artists 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 in 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 predict future trends. Second, the series is rich in content, providing short biographies and introductions to the artistic styles of each oil painter. The selected works include images, creation dates, materials, dimensions, estimated prices, hammer prices, artist signatures, auction houses, and auction dates—all of which provide valuable auction intelligence for collectors. The series strives for comprehensive, detailed, and visual information, making it highly practical for reference.
"Prosperity breeds collection, chaos hoards gold." Since the 1990s, the art auction industry has rapidly risen in the Chinese market. Art collection has expanded from primarily being the domain of national cultural and institutions to encompassing a broad range of individuals from all social strata. Particularly in economically developed regions, art investment has become the "second investment" for many private entrepreneurs. However, driven by economic interests, forgeries and reproductions 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 can be challenging. This series is like "coal in snow."
Given economic and market factors, regions along the coast with higher levels of auction marketization are expected to perform better in sales than other areas. 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.
