Features: "China Fine Art and Calligraphy Auction Intelligence" series, which collects nearly a thousand renowned Chinese fine art and calligraphy masters in history, with a special focus on modern and contemporary artists active from the late 19th to the 20th century. It selects millions of representative works from recent auctions and arranges them chronologically into 20 volumes. Although there are already various auction catalogues available, such as annual auction yearbooks and China Modern Fine Art and Calligraphy Catalogue (published by Nanfang Publishing House), this series has its own unique format and characteristics. Its content is quite comprehensive, providing concise biographies for each artist, introducing their artistic styles, including images of their works, and detailing dimensions, seals, inscriptions, provenance, and auction prices, with recent auction intelligence listed at the end. For some artists, their seals and inscriptions are selected and presented separately. While existing books on seals and inscriptions primarily focus on ancient artists, there is a significant lack of coverage for modern and contemporary artists. This series fills this gap by including this content, making a valuable contribution to filling the void. The series strives for comprehensive, accurate, and visually rich information, offering strong practical value. This book is the tenth volume in the series. The 25-volume China Fine Art and Calligraphy Auction Intelligence, the 5-volume China Oil Painting Auction Intelligence, and the 5-volume Ancient Books and Fine Manuscripts Auction Intelligence cover nearly a thousand Chinese fine art and calligraphy masters and millions of domestic auction records. It includes over 30 renowned domestic and international auction houses, comprehensively showcasing the ups and downs and dynamic changes in the Chinese fine art and calligraphy auction market over the past two decades. It places special emphasis on the market trends of late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era fine art and calligraphy works, oil paintings, and ancient books and fine manuscripts. It is a convenient and practical reference tool for Chinese fine art, oil paintings, and ancient books and fine manuscripts auctions. It helps collectors and investors gain a comprehensive understanding of the fine art auction market, provides artists with complete information for appreciating fine art, and highlights the substantial appreciation potential in art investment.
