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' lifespans, 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 first-tier 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 context and current collection status of the Chinese oil painting market and anticipate future trends. Second, the series is rich in content, compiling short biographies for each oil painter and introducing their artistic styles. The selected works include images, creation dates, materials, dimensions, estimated prices, hammer prices, artist signatures, auction houses, and auction dates—essential auction intelligence for collectors. The series strives for comprehensive, detailed, and visual information, making it highly practical and reference-worthy. "Prosperity breeds collection, chaos hoards gold." Since the 1990s, the art auction industry has rapidly risen in China's market. Art collection has gradually expanded from primarily national cultural and institutions to a broader range of individuals across all social strata. Particularly in economically developed regions, art investment has become the "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 challenging. This series is like "snow in the desert." Due to economic and market factors, regions along the coast with higher levels of marketization in auctioned works 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.
